However, the concept of glaring, understood as a fierce or intense look, can be associated with various scriptural themes and narratives that involve expressions of anger, judgment, or divine scrutiny.<br><br><b>Biblical Context and Themes</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Judgment and Scrutiny</b>: The Bible often describes God's eyes as instruments of judgment and discernment. In <a href="/2_chronicles/16-9.htm">2 Chronicles 16:9</a>, it is written, "For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him." This passage suggests a divine gaze that is both protective and discerning, capable of identifying the faithful and the wicked.<br><br>2. <b>Human Anger and Reproof</b>: The concept of glaring can also be related to human expressions of anger or reproof. In the narrative of Cain and Abel, although the term "glares" is not used, Cain's countenance falls after God does not regard his offering (<a href="/genesis/4-5.htm">Genesis 4:5-6</a>). This change in demeanor can be interpreted as a form of glaring, reflecting inner turmoil and anger.<br><br>3. <b>Jesus and the Pharisees</b>: In the New Testament, Jesus often confronts the Pharisees and religious leaders with stern rebukes. While the term "glares" is not used, His interactions can be seen as intense and penetrating. In <a href="/mark/3-5.htm">Mark 3:5</a>, it is noted, "And after looking around at them with anger, grieved by their hardness of heart, He said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.'" Here, Jesus' look is one of righteous indignation and sorrow over their lack of compassion.<br><br>4. <b>Symbolism of Light and Darkness</b>: The Bible frequently uses light and darkness as metaphors for good and evil. A glare, being a bright and often blinding light, can symbolize the overwhelming presence of truth and righteousness. In <a href="/john/1-5.htm">John 1:5</a>, it is stated, "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." This imagery suggests that the divine light, akin to a glare, exposes and overcomes the darkness of sin.<br><br>5. <b>Warnings Against Pride and Arrogance</b>: Proverbs often warns against haughty eyes and prideful looks, which can be associated with glaring. <a href="/proverbs/6-16.htm">Proverbs 6:16-17</a> lists "haughty eyes" among the things the Lord detests. This suggests that a glare, when stemming from pride or arrogance, is contrary to the humility God desires.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Considerations</b><br><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the eyes were often seen as windows to the soul, capable of conveying deep emotions and intentions. A glare, therefore, could be a powerful non-verbal communication tool, expressing disapproval, authority, or confrontation. Understanding this cultural context can enrich the interpretation of biblical passages where intense looks or divine scrutiny are implied.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the concept of glaring can be understood as a reflection of God's holiness and justice. God's penetrating gaze discerns the hearts of individuals, distinguishing between righteousness and wickedness. For believers, this serves as a reminder of the importance of living a life pleasing to God, aware that nothing is hidden from His sight.<br><br>In summary, while the term "glares" is not directly found in the Bible, the concept is woven into the fabric of biblical narratives and teachings, illustrating themes of divine judgment, human emotion, and the contrast between light and darkness.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/5869.htm"><span class="l">5869. ayin -- an eye</span></a><br><b>...</b> 2), displeased* (4), disregard* (1), eye (68), eyebrows* (1), eyelids* (1), eyes<br> (372), eyesight (1), forehead* (5), generous* (1), <b>glares</b>* (1), gleam (3 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5869.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/3913.htm"><span class="l">3913. latash -- to hammer, sharpen, whet</span></a><br><b>...</b> Word Origin a prim. root Definition to hammer, sharpen, whet NASB Word Usage forger<br> (1), <b>glares</b>* (1), sharp (1), sharpen (2). instructor, sharpen, whet. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/3913.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/corelli/the_master-christian/xiii_the_church_of_notre.htm"><span class="l">The Church of Notre Dame De Lorette in Paris with Its Yellow <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> of the Eucharist," and a misguided personage named Orsel, splashed out the gaudy<br> decorations of the "Chapel of the Virgin."
