It is used in various contexts, including the descent of individuals, divine beings, and spiritual entities. This entry explores the different uses and theological implications of "descended" in the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>1. Physical Descent:</b><br><br>In a literal sense, "descended" is used to describe the movement of people from higher elevations to lower ones. For example, in <a href="/genesis/12-10.htm">Genesis 12:10</a>, Abram "went down" to Egypt due to a famine in the land of Canaan. This physical descent often signifies a change in circumstances or a transition in the narrative.<br><br><b>2. Divine Descent:</b><br><br>The concept of divine descent is significant in the Bible, where God or His presence descends to interact with humanity. In <a href="/exodus/19-20.htm">Exodus 19:20</a>, "The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit." This descent signifies God's willingness to engage with His people and deliver His commandments.<br><br><b>3. Christ's Descent:</b><br><br>A pivotal theological concept is the descent of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, Christ's descent is both literal and metaphorical. <a href="/ephesians/4-9.htm">Ephesians 4:9-10</a> states, "What does 'He ascended' mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things." This passage is often interpreted to mean Christ's incarnation and His descent into Hades, emphasizing His victory over sin and death.<br><br><b>4. The Holy Spirit:</b><br><br>The descent of the Holy Spirit is another critical event in the New Testament. In <a href="/acts/2-3.htm">Acts 2:3-4</a>, during Pentecost, "They saw tongues like flames of a fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit's descent empowers the apostles and marks the birth of the Church.<br><br><b>5. Angelic Descent:</b><br><br>Angels are also described as descending from heaven to deliver messages or execute God's will. In <a href="/genesis/28-12.htm">Genesis 28:12</a>, Jacob dreams of a ladder reaching to heaven, with "the angels of God ascending and descending on it." This vision reassures Jacob of God's presence and promises.<br><br><b>6. Eschatological Descent:</b><br><br>In eschatological contexts, descent often refers to future events. <a href="/revelation/21-2.htm">Revelation 21:2</a> describes the New Jerusalem: "I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." This descent symbolizes the ultimate union of heaven and earth in God's redemptive plan.<br><br><b>7. Metaphorical Descent:</b><br><br>Metaphorically, descent can signify a fall from grace or a decline in moral or spiritual standing. In <a href="/isaiah/14-12.htm">Isaiah 14:12</a>, the fall of Lucifer is described: "How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn!" This descent represents the consequences of pride and rebellion against God.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "descended" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from physical movement to profound theological truths. It highlights God's interaction with humanity, the mission of Christ, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Descend.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1549.htm"><span class="l">1549. ekgonos -- born of, a descendant, ie a grandchild</span></a> <br><b>...</b> of, a descendant, ie a grandchild.
