This action is depicted in several biblical narratives, illustrating themes of deliverance, humility, and divine intervention.<br><br><b>1. Lowering of the Paralytic (<a href="/mark/2.htm">Mark 2:1-12</a>; <a href="/luke/5-17.htm">Luke 5:17-26</a>):</b> <br>One of the most notable instances of lowering in the New Testament is the account of the paralytic man. In <a href="/mark/2-4.htm">Mark 2:4</a> , it is recorded, "Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat." This act of faith by the man's friends led to his healing and forgiveness of sins by Jesus, demonstrating the power of faith and the compassion of Christ.<br><br><b>2. Paul's Escape from Damascus (<a href="/acts/9-23.htm">Acts 9:23-25</a>; <a href="/2_corinthians/11-32.htm">2 Corinthians 11:32-33</a>):</b> <br>The Apostle Paul experienced being lowered in a basket to escape danger. In <a href="/acts/9-25.htm">Acts 9:25</a> , it states, "One night his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall." This event highlights God's providential care and the early church's commitment to protecting its leaders. Paul's escape allowed him to continue his ministry and spread the Gospel.<br><br><b>3. Lowering of Jeremiah into the Cistern (<a href="/jeremiah/38-6.htm">Jeremiah 38:6-13</a>):</b> <br>The prophet Jeremiah was lowered into a cistern as a form of punishment for his prophecies against Jerusalem. <a href="/jeremiah/38-6.htm">Jeremiah 38:6</a> recounts, "So they took Jeremiah and lowered him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water, only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud." This act of lowering was intended to silence Jeremiah, but he was later rescued, signifying God's protection over His prophets.<br><br><b>4. Symbolism and Themes:</b> <br>The act of lowering in these biblical accounts often symbolizes humility and vulnerability. It is a physical manifestation of being brought low, either by circumstances or by choice, to receive divine intervention or protection. In each instance, the individuals involved are either delivered from peril or brought into the presence of Jesus, underscoring themes of faith, salvation, and God's sovereignty.<br><br><b>5. Spiritual Implications:</b> <br>From a spiritual perspective, the concept of being "lowered" can also be seen as a metaphor for humility before God. <a href="/james/4-10.htm">James 4:10</a> encourages believers, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you." This principle is evident in the narratives where those who are physically lowered are ultimately lifted up by God's grace and power.<br><br>In summary, the biblical instances of lowering serve as powerful reminders of God's deliverance and the importance of faith and humility in the believer's life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
