The act of knocking is used metaphorically to describe the approach of a believer towards God, emphasizing the importance of perseverance in prayer and the assurance of God's willingness to respond.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>One of the most well-known references to "knock" is found in the teachings of Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount. In <a href="/matthew/7-7.htm">Matthew 7:7-8</a> , Jesus instructs His followers: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." This passage highlights the progressive nature of seeking God's will and blessings, with "knock" symbolizing the earnest and active pursuit of divine intervention.<br><br>In <a href="/luke/11-9.htm">Luke 11:9-10</a> , a parallel passage reiterates this teaching: "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Here, the context is a discourse on prayer, where Jesus encourages His disciples to be persistent and confident in their petitions to God.<br><br><b>Revelation and the Call to Repentance</b><br><br>The imagery of knocking is also used in <a href="/revelation/3-20.htm">Revelation 3:20</a> , where Jesus addresses the church in Laodicea: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me." This verse portrays Jesus as the one who initiates the relationship, standing at the door of the human heart and seeking entry. It serves as a call to repentance and fellowship, emphasizing the personal and intimate nature of the relationship between Christ and the believer.<br><br><b>Old Testament Parallels</b><br><br>While the specific term "knock" is not prevalent in the Old Testament, the concept of seeking God with persistence and expectation is a recurring theme. For instance, in <a href="/proverbs/8-34.htm">Proverbs 8:34</a> , wisdom is personified and says, "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my doorway." This verse underscores the importance of vigilance and readiness to receive divine wisdom and guidance.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The act of knocking, as presented in the Bible, carries significant theological implications. It suggests an active faith that is not passive but involves a deliberate and continuous effort to engage with God. The promise that the door will be opened to those who knock reflects God's faithfulness and readiness to respond to sincere seekers. It also implies a relational dynamic where God desires to be approached and is willing to reveal Himself to those who earnestly seek Him.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of "knock" serves as a powerful metaphor for the believer's pursuit of God, characterized by persistence, expectation, and the assurance of divine response.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>"Though Orientals are very jealous of their privacy, they never knock when about to enter your room, but walk in without warning or ceremony. It is nearly impossible to teach an Arab servant to knock at your door. They give warning at the outer gate either by calling or knocking. To stand and call is a very common and respectful mode. Thus Moses commanded the holder of a pledge to stand without and call to the owner to come forth (<a href="/deuteronomy/24-10.htm">Deuteronomy 24:10</a>). This was to avoid the violent intrusion of cruel creditors. Peter stood knocking at the outer door (<a href="/acts/12-13.htm">Acts 12:13</a>, 16), and the three men sent to Joppa by Cornelius made inquiry and `stood before the gate' (<a href="/acts/10-17.htm">10:17</a>, 18). The idea is that the guard over your privacy is to be placed at the entrance."<p>Knocking is used as a sign of importunity (<a href="/matthew/7-7.htm">Matthew 7:7</a>, 8; <a href="/luke/13-25.htm">Luke 13:25</a>), and of the coming of Christ (<a href="/luke/12-36.htm">Luke 12:36</a>; <a href="/revelation/3-20.htm">Revelation 3:20</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

At night the delay would be increased by the difficulty of arousing the inmates sleeping within the inner chambers. To persons familiar with such experiences, the words of Jesus concerning a higher entrance, "Knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (<a href="/matthew/7-7.htm">Matthew 7:7</a> <a href="/luke/12-36.htm">Luke 12:36</a>), would have a unique force not easy for us to appreciate.<br><br>Russell Benjamin Miller<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2925.htm"><span class="l">2925. krouo -- to strike</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to strike.
