It is used in various contexts throughout the Scriptures to describe physical lameness, spiritual indecision, or a temporary cessation of movement or progress.<br><br>1. <b>Physical Lameness</b>: In the Old Testament, "halted" is frequently used to describe individuals who are physically lame or crippled. For example, in <a href="/genesis/32-31.htm">Genesis 32:31</a>, after Jacob wrestles with the angel, it is said, "The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip." This physical halting is a result of his encounter with God, symbolizing both a physical and spiritual transformation.<br><br>2. <b>Spiritual Indecision</b>: The term is also used metaphorically to describe a state of spiritual indecision or wavering. In <a href="/1_kings/18-21.htm">1 Kings 18:21</a>, the prophet Elijah challenges the Israelites, saying, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him." Here, "waver" is akin to being halted between two choices, emphasizing the need for decisive faith and commitment to God.<br><br>3. <b>Temporary Cessation</b>: In some instances, "halted" can refer to a temporary stop or pause in action. This can be seen in the narrative of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, where their progress is often halted due to disobedience or divine intervention. Such pauses serve as moments for reflection, repentance, and realignment with God's will.<br><br>4. <b>Healing and Restoration</b>: The New Testament provides accounts of Jesus healing those who are physically halted. In <a href="/matthew/15-30.htm">Matthew 15:30-31</a>, it is recorded, "Great crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet; and He healed them." This demonstrates Jesus' power and compassion, offering physical restoration as a sign of the coming Kingdom of God.<br><br>5. <b>Symbolic Meaning</b>: The concept of being halted can also symbolize a broader spiritual truth. It reflects the human condition of being spiritually crippled by sin and the need for divine intervention for healing and salvation. The Bible consistently points to God as the source of strength and restoration for those who are halted, both physically and spiritually.<br><br>In summary, the term "halted" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings from physical lameness to spiritual indecision, each context providing insight into the human condition and God's redemptive work. Through the narratives and teachings of Scripture, believers are encouraged to seek healing and wholeness in Christ, who alone can restore what is halted.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Halt.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/335.htm"><span class="l">335. anaideia -- shamelessness</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 335 ("no shame, without embarrassment") is the shamelessness a has who is not be<br> <b>halted</b> by human fears -- even when others cry "overdone" (ie accuse them of <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/335.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/5975.htm"><span class="l">5975. amad -- to take one's stand, stand</span></a><br><b>...</b> enter (1), entered (2), erected (1), establish (1), established (2), establishing<br> (1), fixed (1), fulfill (1), gives stability (1), halt (1), <b>halted</b> (1), hung <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5975.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/miller/the_city_of_delight/chapter_vii_imperial_caesar.htm"><span class="l">Imperial Caesar</span></a> <br><b>...</b> When the Maccabee had returned to the spot in the sedgy valley where he and Julian<br> had <b>halted</b>, he found the Ephesian white to the lips and with ignited eyes <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../miller/the city of delight/chapter vii imperial caesar.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bacheller/vergilius/chapter_22_it_was_a.htm"><span class="l">It was a Clear Morning and the Tenth Day Before the Kalends of <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Vergilius, hard by, faced the cohort, his back turned to the new-comer.
