It is used to convey the immediacy or urgency of an event or action. In the context of Scripture, the concept of an "instant" can highlight the suddenness of divine intervention, the immediacy of God's commands, or the rapidity of human response.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage:</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Intervention:</b><br> The Bible frequently uses the concept of an "instant" to describe the sudden and powerful acts of God. For example, in the book of Acts, the conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus is a moment of instant transformation. Although the Berean Standard Bible does not use the word "instant" in this passage, the suddenness of the event is evident: "As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him" (<a href="/acts/9-3.htm">Acts 9:3</a>). This illustrates how God can intervene in human affairs in an instant, changing the course of a person's life.<br><br>2. <b>Immediate Obedience:</b><br> The Bible often emphasizes the importance of immediate obedience to God's commands. In the Old Testament, when God called Abraham to leave his homeland, Abraham's response was prompt and without hesitation. <a href="/genesis/12-4.htm">Genesis 12:4</a> states, "So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him." This immediate response to God's call is a model of faith and obedience, demonstrating the importance of acting in the moment when God speaks.<br><br>3. <b>Urgency in Prayer:</b><br> The concept of an "instant" is also relevant in the context of prayer. Believers are encouraged to pray with urgency and persistence. In the New Testament, Jesus teaches about the importance of persistent prayer in the parable of the persistent widow (<a href="/luke/18.htm">Luke 18:1-8</a>). While the term "instant" is not explicitly used, the urgency and immediacy of the widow's requests highlight the need for believers to approach God with a sense of immediacy and determination.<br><br>4. <b>Sudden Judgment:</b><br> The Bible also uses the concept of an "instant" to describe the suddenness of divine judgment. In the book of Daniel, King Belshazzar experiences God's judgment in an instant when a hand appears and writes on the wall during his feast. <a href="/daniel/5-5.htm">Daniel 5:5</a> states, "At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace." This event underscores the immediacy with which God's judgment can come upon those who defy Him.<br><br>5. <b>Transformation and Healing:</b><br> The Gospels recount numerous instances where Jesus performs miracles in an instant, demonstrating His divine authority and compassion. For example, in the healing of the leper, Jesus' touch brings immediate healing: "And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed" (<a href="/mark/1-42.htm">Mark 1:42</a>). These moments of instant healing reveal the power of Christ to transform lives in a single moment.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The concept of an "instant" in the Bible serves as a reminder of the sovereignty and power of God. It highlights the immediacy with which God can act in the world and in the lives of individuals. Believers are called to be ready to respond to God's call at any moment, to pray with urgency, and to live with an awareness of the suddenness of both divine blessing and judgment. The idea of an "instant" challenges Christians to live in a state of readiness, faith, and obedience, recognizing that God's timing is perfect and His actions are decisive.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
