It is often used to describe physical actions, spiritual conditions, or divine interventions. Below are some key instances and interpretations of "breaks" as found in the Scriptures.<br><br>1. <b>Physical Breaks:</b><br>· <b>Breaking of Bread:</b> In the New Testament, the breaking of bread is a significant act, symbolizing fellowship and the remembrance of Christ's sacrifice. In <a href="/acts/2-42.htm">Acts 2:42</a>, the early Christians are described as devoting themselves to "the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." This act is central to the practice of Communion, representing the body of Christ broken for believers.<br>· <b>Breaking of Chains:</b> The Bible often uses the imagery of breaking chains to symbolize liberation from bondage. In <a href="/acts/12-7.htm">Acts 12:7</a>, an angel of the Lord appears to Peter in prison, and "the chains fell off his wrists," signifying divine intervention and freedom.<br><br>2. <b>Spiritual and Moral Breaks:</b><br>· <b>Breaking of Covenants:</b> The breaking of covenants is a recurring theme in the Bible, often highlighting human unfaithfulness to God. In <a href="/jeremiah/31-32.htm">Jeremiah 31:32</a>, God speaks of a new covenant, "not like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them."<br>· <b>Breaking of the Heart:</b> The Bible speaks to the condition of a broken heart, often in the context of repentance and contrition. <a href="/psalms/34-18.htm">Psalm 34:18</a> states, "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit." This highlights God's compassion and readiness to heal those who are spiritually broken.<br><br>3. <b>Divine Breaks:</b><br>· <b>Breaking of Nations:</b> The Bible frequently describes God's power to break nations and kingdoms as a demonstration of His sovereignty. In <a href="/isaiah/14-5.htm">Isaiah 14:5</a>, it is written, "The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers," illustrating God's judgment and authority over earthly powers.<br>· <b>Breaking of Strongholds:</b> Spiritual warfare is depicted in terms of breaking strongholds. In <a href="/2_corinthians/10-4.htm">2 Corinthians 10:4</a>, Paul writes, "The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." This signifies the spiritual power available to believers to overcome evil.<br><br>4. <b>Symbolic Breaks:</b><br>· <b>Breaking of the Day:</b> The breaking of the day is a metaphor for the arrival of new beginnings and hope. In <a href="/genesis/32-24.htm">Genesis 32:24-26</a>, Jacob wrestles with a man until daybreak, symbolizing perseverance and the dawning of a new chapter in his life.<br>· <b>Breaking of the Earth:</b> In prophetic literature, the breaking of the earth often symbolizes cataclysmic events or divine judgment. In <a href="/isaiah/24-19.htm">Isaiah 24:19</a>, it is prophesied, "The earth is utterly broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken violently."<br><br>The concept of "breaks" in the Bible encompasses a wide range of meanings, from physical actions to profound spiritual truths. It serves as a powerful metaphor for transformation, liberation, and divine intervention, reflecting the multifaceted nature of God's interaction with humanity.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/541.htm"><span class="l">541. apaugasma -- radiance</span></a> <br><b>...</b> His eternal light <b>breaks</b> through all the darkness that keeps someone in spiritual<br> ignorance (bondage), ie every resistance exerted by sin. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/541.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/5195.htm"><span class="l">5195. hubrizo -- to run riot, to outrage, insult</span></a> <br><b>...</b> This expresses the work of "one whose insolence and contempt of others <b>breaks</b><br> forth in wanton and outrageous acts" (K.
