This action is seen throughout the Scriptures, where God, prophets, kings, and leaders summon people to convey messages, deliver judgments, or initiate significant events.<br><br><b>Old Testament Instances</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Summons</b>: God frequently summons individuals to fulfill His divine purposes. For example, in <a href="/exodus/3-4.htm">Exodus 3:4</a>, God calls Moses from the burning bush: "When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him from within the bush, 'Moses, Moses!' And Moses said, 'Here I am.'" This summoning marks the beginning of Moses' mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.<br><br>2. <b>Prophetic Summons</b>: Prophets often summoned the people of Israel to repentance and obedience. In <a href="/1_kings/18-20.htm">1 Kings 18:20</a>, Elijah summons the people to Mount Carmel for a confrontation with the prophets of Baal: "So Ahab summoned all the Israelites and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel."<br><br>3. <b>Royal Summons</b>: Kings in the Old Testament also exercised the power to summon. In <a href="/2_samuel/11-6.htm">2 Samuel 11:6</a>, King David summons Uriah the Hittite: "Then David sent word to Joab: 'Send me Uriah the Hittite.' So Joab sent him to David." This summoning sets the stage for the unfolding of David's sin with Bathsheba.<br><br><b>New Testament Instances</b><br><br>1. <b>Jesus' Summons</b>: Jesus Christ frequently summoned His disciples and followers to teach, heal, and spread the Gospel. In <a href="/mark/3-13.htm">Mark 3:13</a>, Jesus calls His disciples: "Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him." This summoning is pivotal in the formation of the group that would carry forward His mission.<br><br>2. <b>Apostolic Summons</b>: The apostles, following the example of Christ, also summoned believers for instruction and decision-making. In <a href="/acts/6-2.htm">Acts 6:2</a>, the Twelve summon the disciples to address the issue of food distribution: "So the Twelve summoned all the disciples and said, 'It is unacceptable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.'"<br><br>3. <b>Judicial Summons</b>: In the New Testament, summoning also occurs in judicial contexts. In <a href="/acts/25-6.htm">Acts 25:6</a>, Festus, the Roman governor, summons Paul for trial: "After spending eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The act of summoning in the Bible often signifies authority, purpose, and divine intervention. It underscores the importance of obedience and readiness to respond to God's call. The summons can be a call to action, repentance, or service, reflecting the broader biblical themes of covenant and mission. The response to a divine or authoritative summons often determines the course of biblical narratives and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
