The imagery of tearing is used both literally and metaphorically, reflecting the multifaceted nature of human experience and divine interaction.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b>Garments Torn in Grief and Repentance</b>: In the Old Testament, tearing one's garments is a common expression of grief, mourning, or repentance. For instance, when Jacob believed that his son Joseph had been killed, he tore his clothes in sorrow (<a href="/genesis/37-34.htm">Genesis 37:34</a>). Similarly, Joshua and the elders of Israel tore their garments and fell facedown before the Ark of the LORD after the defeat at Ai, expressing their distress and seeking God's guidance (<a href="/joshua/7-6.htm">Joshua 7:6</a>).<br><br>2. <b>The Tearing of the Kingdom</b>: The division of the united kingdom of Israel is symbolically represented by the tearing of a garment. The prophet Ahijah tore his new cloak into twelve pieces and gave ten to Jeroboam, signifying the division of the kingdom and the ten tribes that would be given to him (<a href="/1_kings/11-30.htm">1 Kings 11:30-31</a>).<br><br>3. <b>Prophetic Imagery</b>: The prophets often used the imagery of tearing to convey messages from God. In <a href="/hosea/6.htm">Hosea 6:1</a>, the prophet calls the people to return to the LORD, acknowledging that God has "torn us to pieces" but will also heal and bind them up. This reflects the dual nature of God's judgment and mercy.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b>The Tearing of the Temple Veil</b>: One of the most significant uses of the term "torn" in the New Testament is the tearing of the temple veil at the moment of Jesus' death. <a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a> states, "At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split." This event symbolizes the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, granting believers direct access to God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.<br><br>2. <b>Spiritual Division</b>: Jesus speaks of division in terms of being torn or separated. In <a href="/luke/12-51.htm">Luke 12:51</a>, He states, "Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division." This division, or being torn apart, is a result of the differing responses to His message and mission.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The act of tearing in the Bible often signifies a profound transformation or a pivotal moment in God's redemptive history. Whether it is the tearing of garments in repentance, the division of a kingdom, or the tearing of the temple veil, each instance points to a deeper spiritual reality. The tearing of the veil, in particular, is a powerful symbol of the new covenant established through Christ, emphasizing the accessibility of God's presence to all believers.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Application</b><br><br>In a broader sense, the concept of being torn can also reflect the internal struggles and conflicts faced by believers. The Apostle Paul, in his letters, often speaks of the inner conflict between the flesh and the spirit, a kind of tearing within the soul as one strives to live a life pleasing to God (<a href="/romans/7-21.htm">Romans 7:21-25</a>).<br><br>The imagery of tearing, therefore, serves as a reminder of both the brokenness of the world and the hope of restoration through God's intervention. It calls believers to a life of repentance, humility, and reliance on God's grace, recognizing that through Christ, what is torn can be healed and made whole.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
