It can refer to physical encirclement, divine protection, or the presence of God among His people. The term is used in various contexts throughout Scripture, illustrating both God's providence and the challenges faced by His people. Divine Protection and Presence One of the most profound uses of "surrounding" in the Bible is to describe God's protective presence. In <a href="/psalms/125-2.htm">Psalm 125:2</a> , it is written, "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore." This imagery of mountains encircling Jerusalem serves as a metaphor for God's enduring protection and care for His people, emphasizing His steadfastness and reliability. Similarly, <a href="/psalms/34-7.htm">Psalm 34:7</a> states, "The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them." Here, the surrounding presence of the angel of the LORD signifies divine intervention and deliverance, offering reassurance to the faithful that they are not alone in their struggles. Encirclement by Enemies Conversely, the Bible also uses the concept of surrounding to describe the encirclement by enemies, often as a test of faith or a call to rely on God's deliverance. In <a href="/psalms/22-12.htm">Psalm 22:12-13</a> , David laments, "Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul." This vivid imagery portrays the overwhelming nature of adversaries and the desperation felt by the psalmist, yet it ultimately points to a reliance on God for salvation. In <a href="/2_kings/6-15.htm">2 Kings 6:15-17</a> , the prophet Elisha's servant is initially terrified by the sight of an enemy army surrounding the city. However, Elisha reassures him, saying, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Elisha then prays for the servant's eyes to be opened, revealing a heavenly army of horses and chariots of fire surrounding them, symbolizing God's superior power and protection. Symbol of Judgment and Consequence The concept of surrounding is also used in the context of judgment. In <a href="/jeremiah/21-4.htm">Jeremiah 21:4</a> , God declares, "I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the wall, and I will gather them into the center of this city." Here, the surrounding forces of Babylon represent God's instrument of judgment against Jerusalem for their disobedience and idolatry. Spiritual Surrounding In the New Testament, the idea of being surrounded takes on a spiritual dimension. <a href="/hebrews/12.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a> exhorts believers, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us." This passage encourages Christians to draw inspiration from the faithful who have gone before them, viewing their spiritual presence as a source of encouragement and motivation to persevere in faith. Throughout Scripture, the theme of surrounding serves as a multifaceted symbol, illustrating God's protection, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the consequences of disobedience. It calls believers to trust in God's encompassing presence and to remain steadfast in the face of trials.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
