Its usage is pivotal in drawing attention to particular elements within a narrative or discourse, often serving to emphasize the immediacy or importance of the subject at hand. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, "this" is often used to specify a particular covenant, commandment, or event. For example, in <a href="/genesis/9-12.htm">Genesis 9:12</a> , God says, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come." Here, "this" refers to the rainbow as a sign of God's promise to Noah and all living creatures. In Exodus, "this" is used to highlight the significance of the Passover. <a href="/exodus/12-14.htm">Exodus 12:14</a> states, "This day is to be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD; as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come." The use of "this" underscores the importance of the Passover as a perpetual observance for the Israelites. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, "this" is frequently used by Jesus to draw attention to His teachings and actions. In the institution of the Lord's Supper, Jesus uses "this" to refer to the elements of communion. In <a href="/luke/22-19.htm">Luke 22:19</a> , He says, "And He took the bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.'" The Apostle Paul also uses "this" to emphasize key theological points. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-54.htm">1 Corinthians 15:54</a> , he writes, "When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: 'Death has been swallowed up in victory.'" Here, "this" refers to the transformation that believers will undergo at the resurrection. Theological Significance Theologically, the use of "this" in Scripture often serves to focus the reader's attention on God's actions, promises, and instructions. It can denote the present reality of God's work in the world or the fulfillment of His promises. In prophetic literature, "this" may point to future events that are certain to occur according to God's sovereign plan. Practical Application For believers, the use of "this" in Scripture can serve as a reminder to pay close attention to God's words and deeds. It encourages a focus on the specific instructions and promises that God has given, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of His ongoing work in the world and in the lives of His people.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
