The act of running is mentioned in various passages, illustrating both physical movement and spiritual zeal.<br><br><b>Literal Running</b><br><br>1. <b>Physical Movement</b>: Running is frequently depicted in the Bible as a means of swift travel or escape. For instance, in <a href="/1_samuel/17-48.htm">1 Samuel 17:48</a>, David runs quickly toward the battle line to meet Goliath, demonstrating his eagerness and faith in God's deliverance: "As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him."<br><br>2. <b>Escape and Pursuit</b>: Running is also associated with fleeing from danger or pursuing an enemy. In <a href="/2_samuel/18-23.htm">2 Samuel 18:23</a>, Ahimaaz insists on running to bring King David news of Absalom's defeat: "He said, 'Come what may, I want to run.' So Joab said, 'Run!' Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite."<br><br><b>Metaphorical Running</b><br><br>1. <b>Spiritual Zeal and Urgency</b>: The metaphorical use of running often conveys a sense of urgency in spiritual matters. In <a href="/hebrews/12.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a>, believers are encouraged to "run with endurance the race set out for us," emphasizing perseverance in the Christian faith.<br><br>2. <b>God's Swift Actions</b>: The Bible also uses the imagery of running to describe the rapid fulfillment of God's word. In <a href="/psalms/147-15.htm">Psalm 147:15</a>, it is written, "He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly." This illustrates the power and immediacy of God's decrees.<br><br>3. <b>Pursuit of Righteousness</b>: Running is used to symbolize the pursuit of righteousness and the eagerness to follow God's commandments. <a href="/proverbs/4-12.htm">Proverbs 4:12</a> states, "When you walk, your steps will not be impeded; when you run, you will not stumble," suggesting that those who pursue wisdom and righteousness will find their path clear and unhindered.<br><br><b>Symbolism in Prophecy and Wisdom Literature</b><br><br>1. <b>Prophetic Imagery</b>: In prophetic literature, running can symbolize the spread of God's message or the swift execution of His plans. For example, in <a href="/habakkuk/2-2.htm">Habakkuk 2:2</a>, the prophet is instructed to write the vision plainly so that "a herald may run with it," indicating the urgency and importance of disseminating God's revelation.<br><br>2. <b>Wisdom and Instruction</b>: The Book of Proverbs often uses the imagery of running to convey the benefits of heeding wisdom. <a href="/proverbs/18-10.htm">Proverbs 18:10</a> declares, "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe," highlighting the security found in seeking refuge in God.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of "runs" in the Bible encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, illustrating themes of urgency, pursuit, and the swift execution of God's will. Whether describing the literal act of running or serving as a metaphor for spiritual zeal, the imagery of running underscores the dynamic and active nature of faith and divine intervention.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1638.htm"><span class="l">1638. elaion -- an olive orchard, ie spec. the Mt. of Olives</span></a> <br><b>...</b> an olive tree") -- properly, the of olive trees (an olive orchard), referring to<br> the Mount of Olives (J.
