The act of hissing is typically associated with a negative connotation, reflecting disapproval or mockery. This term appears in various passages throughout the Scriptures, illustrating different aspects of divine judgment or human reaction.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/isaiah/5-26.htm">Isaiah 5:26</a> :</b> "He lifts a banner for the distant nations; He whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Behold—how speedily and swiftly they come!" In this passage, the term "whistles" is sometimes translated as "hisses" in other versions. It depicts God summoning foreign nations as instruments of judgment against Israel. The imagery of hissing or whistling conveys the ease and authority with which God can call upon these nations to fulfill His purposes.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/jeremiah/19-8.htm">Jeremiah 19:8</a> :</b> "I will make this city a desolation and an object of scorn. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds." The concept of hissing is implied here as a reaction of scorn and derision from those who witness the desolation of Jerusalem. The city's downfall serves as a warning and a spectacle to others, highlighting the consequences of disobedience to God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/lamentations/2-15.htm">Lamentations 2:15</a> :</b> "All who pass by clap their hands at you; they scoff and shake their heads at the Daughter of Jerusalem: 'Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?'" The act of scoffing and shaking heads can be associated with hissing, as it represents a public display of contempt and disbelief at the city's ruin.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/micah/6-16.htm">Micah 6:16</a> :</b> "You have observed the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsels. Therefore, I will make you a desolation and your inhabitants an object of scorn; you will bear the reproach of My people." Here, the impending judgment results in the people becoming an object of scorn, akin to being hissed at by others. This reflects the shame and dishonor brought upon them due to their sinful practices.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The use of "hissed" in the Bible often underscores the theme of divine judgment and the consequences of turning away from God's commandments. It serves as a vivid reminder of the shame and disgrace that accompany disobedience and rebellion against God. The imagery of hissing, whether as a call to action or a reaction of scorn, emphasizes the seriousness of God's warnings and the reality of His justice.<br><br>In a broader theological context, these passages highlight the sovereignty of God over nations and individuals. His ability to summon and direct events according to His will is a testament to His ultimate authority. The reactions of hissing and derision from others serve as a cautionary tale, urging believers to remain faithful and obedient to God's word to avoid similar judgment and reproach.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Hiss.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/spurgeon/spurgeons_sermons_volume_1_1855/gods_people_in_the_furnace.htm"><span class="l">God's People in the Furnace</span></a> <br><b>...</b> You will find the man who is laughed at, <b>hissed</b> at, hooted as a fool, a simple ton,<br> an idiot, building a ship upon dry land, standing in the furnace of slander <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../spurgeon/spurgeons sermons volume 1 1855/gods people in the furnace.htm</font><p><a href="/library/hilary/the_life_and_writings_of_st_hilary_of_poitiers/on_the_councils_or_the.htm"><span class="l">On the Councils, Or, the Faith of the Easterns.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> our religious brethren, the bishops of the East, and how the Evil One profiting<br> by the discords of the times had with envenomed lips and tongue <b>hissed</b> out his <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../the life and writings of st hilary of poitiers/on the councils or the.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bacheller/vergilius/chapter_13_in_travel-worn_garb.htm"><span class="l">In Travel-Worn Garb Vergilius Went Early to See the King. ...</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Herod was having a bad day.
