The term appears in different contexts throughout the Scriptures, each carrying significant theological and moral implications.<br><br>1. <b>Physical Grasp and Control</b>: The term "hold" is often used in the Bible to describe the act of physically grasping or controlling something. For instance, in <a href="/2_samuel/23-10.htm">2 Samuel 23:10</a>, it is said of Eleazar, one of David's mighty warriors, "He arose and struck down the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day." Here, the physical act of holding the sword symbolizes determination and divine empowerment.<br><br>2. <b>Spiritual Steadfastness</b>: "Hold" is frequently used to describe spiritual perseverance and faithfulness. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-21.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:21</a>, believers are exhorted to "Test all things. Hold fast to what is good." This usage emphasizes the importance of discernment and the steadfast adherence to truth and righteousness in the Christian life.<br><br>3. <b>Retaining Faith and Doctrine</b>: The concept of holding onto faith and sound doctrine is a recurring theme in the New Testament. In <a href="/2_timothy/1-13.htm">2 Timothy 1:13</a>, Paul instructs Timothy, "Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus." This highlights the necessity of maintaining doctrinal purity and the teachings of the apostles.<br><br>4. <b>Divine Protection and Security</b>: The Bible also uses "hold" to convey the idea of divine protection and security. In <a href="/psalms/139-10.htm">Psalm 139:10</a>, the psalmist declares, "Even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast." This assures believers of God's unwavering presence and support, regardless of their circumstances.<br><br>5. <b>Moral and Ethical Implications</b>: The act of holding can also have moral and ethical implications. In <a href="/proverbs/4-13.htm">Proverbs 4:13</a>, it is written, "Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life." This verse underscores the importance of wisdom and instruction as vital components of a righteous life.<br><br>6. <b>Eschatological Significance</b>: In the book of Revelation, the term "hold" is used in an eschatological context. <a href="/revelation/3-11.htm">Revelation 3:11</a> warns, "I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown." This admonition serves as a reminder of the need for vigilance and perseverance in anticipation of Christ's return.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "hold" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from physical grasp to spiritual steadfastness, each with profound implications for the believer's life. Whether it is holding onto faith, doctrine, or divine promises, the term underscores the importance of perseverance, discernment, and reliance on God's strength.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A fortress, the name given to David's lurking-places (<a href="/1_samuel/22-4.htm">1 Samuel 22:4</a>, 5; <a href="/1_samuel/24-22.htm">24:22</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
