It often signifies a state of brokenness, whether it be the breaking of physical objects, the breaking of covenants, or the breaking of one's spirit. This entry explores various instances and implications of "broke" as found in the Scriptures.<br><br><b>Physical Breaking</b><br><br>1. <b>Objects and Structures</b>: The Bible frequently mentions the breaking of physical objects, often as a demonstration of God's power or as a consequence of disobedience. For example, in <a href="/judges/7-20.htm">Judges 7:20</a>, Gideon's men broke the jars that were in their hands, symbolizing the breaking of the Midianite oppression: "The three companies blew their trumpets and broke the jars. They held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands and shouted, 'A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!'"<br><br>2. <b>The Breaking of Bread</b>: In the New Testament, the breaking of bread is a significant act, symbolizing fellowship and the remembrance of Christ's sacrifice. In <a href="/luke/22-19.htm">Luke 22:19</a>, during the Last Supper, Jesus broke the bread and said, "This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."<br><br><b>Covenantal and Spiritual Breaking</b><br><br>1. <b>Breaking of Covenants</b>: The Bible often speaks of the breaking of covenants, particularly between God and His people. In <a href="/jeremiah/31-32.htm">Jeremiah 31:32</a>, God laments the broken covenant with Israel: "It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.<br><br>2. <b>Broken Spirit</b>: A broken spirit is often seen as a state of humility and repentance. <a href="/psalms/51-17.htm">Psalm 51:17</a> states, "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." This verse highlights the value God places on a heart that is truly repentant and humble before Him.<br><br><b>Symbolic and Prophetic Breaking</b><br><br>1. <b>Breaking of Nations and Kingdoms</b>: The breaking of nations and kingdoms is a recurring theme in prophetic literature, symbolizing God's judgment and sovereignty over the earth. In <a href="/daniel/2-44.htm">Daniel 2:44</a>, the prophecy of the eternal kingdom states, "In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will stand forever."<br><br>2. <b>Breaking of Chains and Bondage</b>: The breaking of chains is a powerful metaphor for liberation and deliverance. In <a href="/acts/16-26.htm">Acts 16:26</a>, during Paul's imprisonment, a miraculous event occurs: "Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone's chains came loose."<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Implications</b><br><br>The concept of "broke" in the Bible often carries moral and ethical implications. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin and disobedience, as well as the hope of restoration and redemption through repentance and faith. The breaking of covenants and the brokenness of spirit are central to understanding the human condition and God's redemptive plan.<br><br>In summary, the term "broke" in the Bible encompasses a wide range of meanings, from the literal breaking of objects to the profound spiritual brokenness that leads to repentance and renewal. Through these instances, the Scriptures reveal the depth of God's interaction with humanity, His justice, and His mercy.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
