This concept is woven throughout the Scriptures, illustrating God's sovereignty and His ability to exalt the humble and bring down the proud. Divine Elevation of Individuals One of the most prominent examples of God raising an individual is found in the account of Joseph. Despite being sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph is raised by God to a position of power in Egypt. <a href="/genesis/41-40.htm">Genesis 41:40-41</a> records Pharaoh's words to Joseph: "You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you." This elevation serves God's purpose of preserving the Israelites during a time of famine. Similarly, David, the shepherd boy, is raised by God to become the king of Israel. In <a href="/1_samuel/16-12.htm">1 Samuel 16:12-13</a> , the Lord instructs Samuel to anoint David, saying, "Rise and anoint him, for he is the one." David's rise from humble beginnings to the throne exemplifies God's ability to raise those whom He chooses for His purposes. Raising of Nations God's sovereignty extends to the rise and fall of nations. In the book of Daniel, God reveals to King Nebuchadnezzar that He is the one who raises and deposes kings. <a href="/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a> states, "He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them." This theme is echoed throughout the prophetic books, where God raises nations to execute His judgment or to fulfill His promises. Resurrection and New Life The ultimate act of raising in the Bible is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This event is central to Christian faith, as it demonstrates God's power over death and His promise of eternal life. In <a href="/acts/2-24.htm">Acts 2:24</a> , Peter declares, "But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on Him." The resurrection is a testament to God's ability to raise the dead to new life, offering hope to all believers. Raising the Humble The Bible frequently emphasizes that God raises the humble and brings down the proud. In the Magnificat, Mary praises God, saying, "He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble" (<a href="/luke/1-52.htm">Luke 1:52</a>). This theme is consistent with the teachings of Jesus, who often spoke of the last being first and the first being last (<a href="/matthew/19-30.htm">Matthew 19:30</a>). Spiritual Awakening In a spiritual sense, God raises individuals from a state of sin and spiritual death to new life in Christ. <a href="/ephesians/2-4.htm">Ephesians 2:4-6</a> explains, "But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." Throughout the Bible, the concept of raising is a powerful reminder of God's active involvement in the world and His ability to transform lives and circumstances according to His divine plan.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1453.htm">1453. egeiro -- to waken, to raise up</a> ... 5), arisen (2), arises (1), awake (1), awaken (1), awoke (1), cause (1), get (17), gets (2), got (11), lift (1), raise (10), raised (61), raises (2), rise (5 ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1453.htm - 9k<a href="/greek/3029.htm">3029. lian -- very, exceedingly</a> ... 3029 () (raises) a thought, taking it from much ("a high extent") to " much" ("a extent"), ie utterly (strongly, "to the max"). ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/3029.htm - 6k<a href="/greek/4166.htm">4166. poimen -- a shepherd</a> ... 4166 -- properly, a ("pastor" in ); (figuratively) someone who the Lord raises up to for the total well-being of His flock (the people of the Lord). ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/4166.htm - 7k<a href="/greek/1825.htm">1825. exegeiro -- to raise up</a> ... 1825 (from 1537 , "wholly out from," intensifying 1453 , "raise") -- properly, raise out , emphasizing its on the person God raises up. ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1825.htm - 7k<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3079.htm">3079.
