It marks the transition from night to day, symbolizing new beginnings, hope, and divine intervention. The concept of day-break is frequently used in Scripture to illustrate spiritual awakening, deliverance, and the fulfillment of God's promises. Biblical References: 1. <a href="/genesis/32-24.htm">Genesis 32:24-26</a> : "So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled. Then the man said, 'Let Me go, for it is daybreak.' But Jacob replied, 'I will not let You go unless You bless me.'" In this passage, day-break signifies a pivotal moment in Jacob's life, marking his transformation and the blessing he receives from God. The struggle through the night and the arrival of dawn symbolize perseverance and the reward of divine favor. 2. <a href="/exodus/14-27.htm">Exodus 14:27</a> : "So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians fled toward it, the LORD swept them into the sea." Here, day-break is the moment of deliverance for the Israelites as God intervenes to save them from the Egyptians. The return of the sea to its normal state at dawn underscores God's power and faithfulness in fulfilling His promise to protect His people. 3. <a href="/psalms/30-5.htm">Psalm 30:5</a> : "For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning." This verse poetically captures the essence of day-break as a time of renewal and joy. The transition from night to morning serves as a metaphor for moving from sorrow to joy, highlighting God's enduring mercy and grace. 4. <a href="/mark/16-2.htm">Mark 16:2</a> : "Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb." The resurrection of Jesus Christ is discovered at day-break, symbolizing the ultimate victory over death and the dawn of a new covenant. The timing of this event at dawn emphasizes the theme of new beginnings and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. Symbolism and Themes: · New Beginnings: Day-break is often associated with fresh starts and the renewal of life. It represents the hope and promise of a new day, free from the darkness of the past. · Divine Intervention: Many biblical narratives highlight day-break as a time when God intervenes in human affairs, bringing deliverance and fulfilling His promises. · Spiritual Awakening: The transition from night to day serves as a metaphor for spiritual enlightenment and awakening, where individuals move from ignorance or sin into the light of God's truth. · Joy and Hope: The arrival of morning is frequently linked with joy and hope, as seen in the Psalms and other poetic writings. It reassures believers of God's constant presence and the renewal of His mercies each day. In summary, day-break in the Bible is a powerful symbol of God's intervention, the renewal of life, and the hope of new beginnings. It serves as a reminder of the transformative power of God's presence and the promise of His enduring faithfulness.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3722.htm">3722. orthros -- daybreak, dawn</a> ...
