However, it is an archaic English term that means "ago" or "past." In the context of biblical studies, understanding such terms can be helpful when exploring older commentaries or translations that might use archaic language.<br><br><b>Historical Context</b><br><br>In older English literature and translations, "agone" was used to denote something that happened in the past. While the term itself does not appear in the BSB, the concept of time and events that have passed is a significant theme throughout the Scriptures. The Bible often reflects on past events to teach, remind, and encourage believers in their faith journey.<br><br><b>Biblical References to Time</b><br><br>The Bible frequently addresses the passage of time and the importance of remembering past events. For instance, in the Old Testament, the Israelites are often reminded of their deliverance from Egypt as a pivotal event in their history. In the New Testament, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are central events that believers are called to remember and proclaim.<br><br>· <b><a href="/ecclesiastes/3.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:1</a> :</b> "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."<br> <br> This verse highlights the biblical understanding of time as divinely appointed and purposeful. It underscores the importance of recognizing the seasons of life and the events that have transpired.<br><br>· <b><a href="/deuteronomy/32-7.htm">Deuteronomy 32:7</a> :</b> "Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you."<br><br> Here, the Israelites are encouraged to remember and learn from the past, emphasizing the value of historical reflection in understanding God's faithfulness and guidance.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the concept of past events, or things "agone," serves as a foundation for understanding God's sovereignty and faithfulness throughout history. The Bible encourages believers to look back at God's actions and promises as a source of hope and assurance for the future.<br><br>· <b><a href="/hebrews/13-8.htm">Hebrews 13:8</a> :</b> "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."<br><br> This verse reassures believers of the unchanging nature of Christ, linking the past, present, and future in the continuity of God's redemptive plan.<br><br><b>Application for Believers</b><br><br>For contemporary believers, reflecting on what has "agone" or transpired in biblical history and personal life can strengthen faith and provide perspective. The remembrance of God's past deeds encourages trust in His ongoing work and future promises.<br><br>In summary, while "agone" as a term may not appear in modern Bible translations, its essence is captured in the biblical emphasis on remembering and learning from the past. This reflection is integral to the Christian faith, offering insights into God's character and His eternal plan for humanity.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
