It is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures, symbolizing both physical and spiritual deliverance. The concept of flight can be seen in various narratives, laws, and prophecies, illustrating the human response to fear, divine intervention, and the pursuit of safety. Old Testament Instances: 1. Lot's Escape from Sodom: One of the earliest examples of flight is found in <a href="/bsb/genesis/19.htm">Genesis 19</a>, where Lot and his family flee from the impending destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The angels urge them to escape quickly, saying, "Flee for your lives! Do not look back or stop anywhere in the plain. Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!" (<a href="/genesis/19-17.htm">Genesis 19:17</a>). This flight signifies divine mercy and the urgency of heeding God's warnings. 2. Jacob's Flight from Esau: In <a href="/genesis/27-41.htm">Genesis 27:41-45</a>, Jacob flees from his brother Esau's wrath after deceiving their father Isaac to receive the blessing. Rebekah instructs Jacob to escape to her brother Laban in Haran, highlighting familial protection and the consequences of deceit. 3. David's Flight from Saul: David's flight from King Saul is a significant narrative in 1 Samuel. Saul's jealousy and intent to kill David force him to flee and seek refuge among various groups, including the Philistines. David's flight is marked by divine protection and guidance, as seen in <a href="/1_samuel/23-14.htm">1 Samuel 23:14</a>: "David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God did not give David into his hands" . New Testament Instances: 1. Flight to Egypt: In <a href="/matthew/2-13.htm">Matthew 2:13-15</a>, Joseph is warned in a dream to take Mary and the infant Jesus and flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents. This flight fulfills the prophecy, "Out of Egypt I called My Son" (<a href="/matthew/2-15.htm">Matthew 2:15</a>), and underscores God's protective provision for the Messiah. 2. The Flight of the Disciples: During Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, the disciples flee in fear, fulfilling Jesus' prediction: "You will all fall away, for it is written: 'I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered'" (<a href="/mark/14-27.htm">Mark 14:27</a>). This flight illustrates human frailty and the fulfillment of prophecy. Symbolic and Prophetic Uses: 1. Flight in Prophecy: The theme of flight is also present in prophetic literature, often symbolizing the escape from divine judgment or persecution. In <a href="/revelation/12-6.htm">Revelation 12:6</a>, the woman representing God's people flees into the wilderness to a place prepared by God, where she is nourished for 1,260 days. This imagery conveys divine protection during times of tribulation. 2. Spiritual Flight: The concept of flight can also be understood spiritually, as believers are called to flee from sin and pursue righteousness. Paul exhorts Timothy, "But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness" (<a href="/1_timothy/6-11.htm">1 Timothy 6:11</a>). This spiritual flight involves a conscious turning away from evil and a commitment to living a life pleasing to God. Conclusion: The theme of flight in the Bible encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, reflecting the human experience of seeking refuge and the divine provision of safety. Whether escaping physical danger or spiritual peril, flight serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the importance of obedience to His guidance.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
