It is used both literally and metaphorically throughout the Scriptures to describe physical actions, spiritual states, and divine interventions. Literal Uses: 1. Physical Barriers: The word "shut" is frequently used to describe the closing of doors, gates, or other barriers. In <a href="/genesis/19-10.htm">Genesis 19:10</a>, the angels "shut the door" to protect Lot from the men of Sodom. Similarly, in <a href="/joshua/2-7.htm">Joshua 2:7</a>, the gates of Jericho were "shut" to prevent the Israelite spies from escaping. 2. Sealing and Protection: In the context of protection, "shut" can imply safety and security. For instance, Noah's ark was "shut" by God Himself to protect Noah and his family from the floodwaters (<a href="/genesis/7-16.htm">Genesis 7:16</a>). Metaphorical Uses: 1. Spiritual Blindness or Deafness: The term is used metaphorically to describe a state of spiritual insensitivity or rejection. In <a href="/isaiah/6-10.htm">Isaiah 6:10</a>, the prophet is instructed to "shut their eyes" so that the people would not see and understand, symbolizing their hardened hearts. 2. Divine Judgment: "Shut" can also signify divine judgment or exclusion. In <a href="/matthew/25-10.htm">Matthew 25:10</a>, the parable of the ten virgins illustrates this when the door is "shut" to the foolish virgins, symbolizing their exclusion from the kingdom of heaven due to their lack of preparedness. 3. God's Sovereignty: The concept of God shutting or opening doors is a powerful metaphor for His sovereign control over circumstances. <a href="/revelation/3-7.htm">Revelation 3:7</a> speaks of Christ as the one "who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens," emphasizing His authority over opportunities and destinies. Theological Implications: The use of "shut" in the Bible underscores themes of divine protection, judgment, and sovereignty. It serves as a reminder of God's power to protect His people, as well as His authority to judge and exclude those who are unprepared or disobedient. The imagery of doors being shut or opened by God highlights the importance of readiness and faithfulness in the Christian life. Related Concepts: · Open: Often contrasted with "shut," the concept of opening signifies access, opportunity, and revelation. God's ability to open what is shut is a testament to His grace and mercy. · Seal: Similar to "shut," sealing implies security and finality, often used in the context of divine decrees or covenants. Biblical References: · <a href="/genesis/7-16.htm">Genesis 7:16</a> : "And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in." · <a href="/isaiah/6-10.htm">Isaiah 6:10</a> : "Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed." · <a href="/matthew/25-10.htm">Matthew 25:10</a> : "But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut." · <a href="/revelation/3-7.htm">Revelation 3:7</a> : "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open."<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (imp. & p. p.) of Shut.2. (v. t.)
