This term can be understood both literally and metaphorically, encompassing physical openings, spiritual revelations, and divine interventions.<br><br><b>Physical Openings</b><br><br>In the literal sense, "opens" is used to describe the act of opening doors, gates, or other physical barriers. For instance, in the narrative of Peter's miraculous escape from prison, an angel of the Lord opens the prison doors: "Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. 'Quick, get up!' he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists. Then the angel said to him, 'Put on your clothes and sandals.' And Peter did so. 'Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,' the angel told him. Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it" (<a href="/acts/12-7.htm">Acts 12:7-10</a>).<br><br><b>Spiritual Revelations</b><br><br>Metaphorically, "opens" is often used to describe the unveiling of spiritual truths or the enlightening of the mind and heart. In the Psalms, the psalmist prays for understanding: "Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your law" (<a href="/psalms/119-18.htm">Psalm 119:18</a>). This plea reflects a desire for divine insight and comprehension of God's Word.<br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus frequently opens the understanding of His disciples. After His resurrection, He appears to them and "opened their minds to understand the Scriptures" (<a href="/luke/24-45.htm">Luke 24:45</a>). This act of opening signifies the impartation of spiritual wisdom and the ability to grasp the deeper meanings of the Scriptures.<br><br><b>Divine Interventions</b><br><br>The Bible also uses "opens" to describe God's intervention in human affairs, often in miraculous ways. In the book of Genesis, God opens the heavens to provide for Hagar and Ishmael: "Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink" (<a href="/genesis/21-19.htm">Genesis 21:19</a>). This opening of Hagar's eyes to see the well signifies God's provision and care in times of distress.<br><br>Similarly, in the account of Balaam, God opens the mouth of Balaam's donkey to speak, revealing divine intervention and warning: "Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and she said to Balaam, 'What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?'" (<a href="/numbers/22-28.htm">Numbers 22:28</a>). This miraculous event underscores God's sovereignty and ability to use any means to communicate His will.<br><br><b>Open Doors and Opportunities</b><br><br>The New Testament frequently uses the metaphor of open doors to describe opportunities for ministry and the spread of the Gospel. The Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians about such an opportunity: "But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me" (<a href="/1_corinthians/16-8.htm">1 Corinthians 16:8-9</a>). Here, the open door represents a divinely appointed opportunity for evangelism and service, despite opposition.<br><br>In the book of Revelation, Jesus speaks to the church in Philadelphia, saying, "See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut" (<a href="/revelation/3-8.htm">Revelation 3:8</a>). This assurance of an open door signifies the certainty of God's promises and the unstoppable nature of His plans for His people.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The theme of "opens" in the Bible is rich with meaning, encompassing God's power to reveal, provide, and create opportunities. Whether through physical openings, spiritual enlightenment, or divine interventions, the act of opening is a testament to God's active presence and work in the world.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/455.htm"><span class="l">455. anoigo -- to open</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from ana and oigo (to open) Definition to open NASB Word Usage break<br> (1), broke (7), open (22), opened (41), opening (2), <b>opens</b> (4), spoken freely <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/455.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 9k</font><p><a href="/greek/1272.htm"><span class="l">1272. dianoigo -- to open up completely</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from dia and anoigo Definition to open up completely NASB Word Usage<br> explaining (2), opened (5), <b>opens</b> (1). to open up completely. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1272.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/6363a.htm"><span class="l">6363a. peter -- that which separates or first <b>opens</b></span></a><br><b>...</b> 6363, 6363a. peter. 6363b . that which separates or first <b>opens</b>.<br> Transliteration: peter Short Definition: offspring.
