It is used to describe actions and attitudes that are contrary to the covenantal faithfulness expected by God from His people. The concept of treachery is significant in understanding the moral and spiritual failures that lead individuals and nations away from God's will.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "treacherous" is "בָּגַד" (bagad), which conveys the idea of betrayal or deceit. This term is frequently used in the prophetic books to describe Israel's unfaithfulness to God. For instance, in <a href="/jeremiah/3-20.htm">Jeremiah 3:20</a>, the prophet laments, "But as a woman may betray her husband, so you have betrayed Me, O house of Israel," declares the LORD. This imagery of marital unfaithfulness underscores the gravity of Israel's spiritual adultery.<br><br>The book of Malachi also addresses treachery in the context of marriage and covenant relationships. <a href="/malachi/2-14.htm">Malachi 2:14-16</a> warns against dealing treacherously with the wife of one's youth, highlighting the sanctity of marriage and the importance of faithfulness: "You ask, 'Why?' It is because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant."<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of treachery is exemplified in the actions of Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ. The Greek word "προδίδωμι" (prodidomi) is used to describe Judas's betrayal. In <a href="/matthew/26-48.htm">Matthew 26:48-49</a>, Judas's treacherous act is recounted: "Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: 'The one I kiss is the man; arrest Him.' Going directly to Jesus, he said, 'Greetings, Rabbi,' and kissed Him."<br><br>The New Testament also warns believers against treacherous behavior within the Christian community. In <a href="/2_timothy/3.htm">2 Timothy 3:1-4</a>, Paul describes the characteristics of people in the last days, including being "treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God." This passage serves as a caution against allowing such traits to infiltrate the church.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Treachery is fundamentally a violation of trust and covenant. In the biblical narrative, it is often linked to idolatry, injustice, and moral decay. The treacherous actions of individuals and nations are depicted as affronts to God's holiness and righteousness. The Bible consistently calls for repentance and a return to faithfulness, emphasizing God's desire for a sincere and loyal relationship with His people.<br><br>The theme of treachery also highlights the need for vigilance and integrity among believers. The call to faithfulness is not only a personal mandate but also a communal responsibility, as the actions of individuals can have far-reaching consequences for the body of Christ.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical portrayal of treachery serves as a sobering reminder of the destructive power of deceit and unfaithfulness. It calls believers to examine their own hearts and to strive for integrity and loyalty in their relationship with God and with one another.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>a.</I>) Like a traitor; involving treachery; violating allegiance or faith pledged; perfidious in private life; betraying a trust; faithless.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/802.htm"><span class="l">802. asunthetos -- not keeping covenant</span></a> <br><b>...</b> of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: asunthetos Phonetic Spelling: (as-oon'-thet-<br> os) Short Definition: untrue to an agreement, <b>treacherous</b> Definition: not <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/802.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p><a href="/greek/1386.htm"><span class="l">1386. dolios -- deceitful</span></a> <br><b>...</b> deceitful.
