This term can be applied both in a physical sense and a metaphorical or spiritual sense, reflecting the multifaceted nature of biblical teachings.<br><br>1. <b>Physical Containment</b>: In a literal sense, "contain" can refer to the physical act of holding or enclosing something. For example, in the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple, specific measurements and materials were used to contain the sacred objects and the presence of God. The Ark of the Covenant, for instance, was a physical container for the stone tablets of the Law given to Moses (<a href="/exodus/25-16.htm">Exodus 25:16</a>).<br><br>2. <b>Divine Containment</b>: The Bible also speaks of the heavens and the earth as unable to contain the fullness of God. In <a href="/1_kings/8-27.htm">1 Kings 8:27</a>, during Solomon's dedication of the Temple, he acknowledges, "But will God indeed dwell on earth? Even the highest heavens cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built." This highlights the transcendence and omnipresence of God, who cannot be confined to any physical space.<br><br>3. <b>Spiritual and Emotional Containment</b>: The concept of containment is also relevant in the spiritual and emotional realms. Believers are often called to contain or control their emotions and desires in accordance with God's will. <a href="/proverbs/25-28.htm">Proverbs 25:28</a> states, "Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control." This metaphor illustrates the importance of self-restraint and the dangers of failing to contain one's impulses.<br><br>4. <b>Containment of Sin and Evil</b>: The Bible frequently addresses the need to contain sin and evil within the community of believers. In the New Testament, the church is instructed to maintain purity and holiness by addressing sin within its midst. In <a href="/1_corinthians/5-6.htm">1 Corinthians 5:6-7</a>, Paul warns, "Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast, that you may be a new unleavened batch&#8212;as you really are." This passage emphasizes the need to contain and remove sin to preserve the integrity of the church.<br><br>5. <b>Containment of God's Word</b>: The Scriptures also speak of the containment of God's Word within the hearts of believers. <a href="/psalms/119-11.htm">Psalm 119:11</a> declares, "I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You." This verse underscores the importance of internalizing and containing God's Word as a means of spiritual guidance and protection against sin.<br><br>6. <b>Eschatological Containment</b>: In eschatological terms, the Bible describes a future containment of evil. <a href="/revelation/20.htm">Revelation 20:1-3</a> speaks of Satan being bound and contained for a thousand years, symbolizing a period of peace and righteousness. This containment reflects God's ultimate authority and the eventual triumph over evil.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "contain" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from the physical containment of sacred objects to the spiritual containment of sin and the divine presence. It serves as a reminder of the boundaries set by God for His creation and the call for believers to live within those boundaries in obedience and faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
