This theme is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating the multifaceted experiences of God's people. Divine Protection and Presence One of the most comforting aspects of being surrounded in the biblical narrative is the assurance of God's protective presence. In <a href="/psalms/125-2.htm">Psalm 125:2</a>, the psalmist declares, "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore." This imagery of mountains encircling the holy city serves as a powerful metaphor for God's enduring protection and care for His people, suggesting stability, security, and divine oversight. Similarly, in <a href="/2_kings/6-17.htm">2 Kings 6:17</a>, the prophet Elisha prays for his servant's eyes to be opened, revealing a heavenly army: "And Elisha prayed, 'O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.' And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." This passage underscores the reality of divine forces surrounding and safeguarding God's servants, even when human eyes cannot perceive them. Encircled by Enemies Conversely, the Bible also speaks of being surrounded by adversaries, a situation that often tests the faith and resolve of God's people. In <a href="/psalms/22-12.htm">Psalm 22:12-13</a>, David laments, "Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul." Here, the psalmist vividly describes the overwhelming presence of enemies, using animal imagery to convey the intensity of the threat. The experience of being encircled by foes is not limited to physical enemies but can also represent spiritual battles. <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a> reminds believers, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." This passage highlights the spiritual dimension of being surrounded, urging Christians to remain vigilant and equipped with the armor of God. Community and Fellowship In a more positive light, the concept of being surrounded can also refer to the fellowship and support of the faith community. <a href="/hebrews/12.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a> encourages believers with these words: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us." This "cloud of witnesses" refers to the faithful who have gone before, whose lives and testimonies provide encouragement and inspiration for those currently in the race of faith. Conclusion The theme of being surrounded in the Bible encompasses a range of experiences, from divine protection and the presence of enemies to the supportive fellowship of believers. Each context invites reflection on God's sovereignty, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the importance of community in the life of faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Surround.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4029.htm">4029. perikeimai -- to lie around</a> ... to lie around.
