In the context of biblical narratives, "ago" helps to situate events within the historical and theological timeline of Scripture. Biblical Context and Usage: 1. Historical Reference: The Bible frequently recounts events that happened long before the time of its writing or the time of its audience. For instance, the New Testament often refers back to the events of the Old Testament, using language that implies "long ago." <a href="/hebrews/1.htm">Hebrews 1:1</a> states, "On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets." This verse highlights the continuity of God's revelation from ancient times to the present. 2. Genealogies and Lineage: The genealogies in the Bible serve as a record of ancestry and history, often indicating events that occurred many generations ago. These genealogies, such as those found in <a href="/bsb/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5</a> and <a href="/bsb/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1</a>, provide a framework for understanding the lineage of key biblical figures, including Jesus Christ, and emphasize the fulfillment of God's promises over time. 3. Prophetic Fulfillment: The Bible often refers to prophecies given long ago that find their fulfillment in later events. For example, the prophecy of the coming Messiah, given centuries before Jesus' birth, is fulfilled in the New Testament. <a href="/isaiah/7-14.htm">Isaiah 7:14</a> prophesies the virgin birth, which is fulfilled in <a href="/matthew/1-22.htm">Matthew 1:22-23</a> : "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel' (which means, 'God with us')." 4. Covenantal Promises: God's covenants with His people, such as the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants, were established long ago and continue to hold significance throughout biblical history. These covenants underscore God's faithfulness and the unfolding of His redemptive plan. <a href="/genesis/17-7.htm">Genesis 17:7</a> records God's promise to Abraham: "I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you." 5. Remembrance and Reflection: The Bible encourages believers to remember the works of God performed long ago as a source of faith and encouragement. <a href="/psalms/77-11.htm">Psalm 77:11</a> declares, "I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old." This act of remembrance serves to strengthen faith and trust in God's unchanging nature and His ongoing involvement in the lives of His people. Theological Implications: The concept of "ago" in the Bible underscores the timeless nature of God's word and His eternal purposes. It highlights the continuity of God's actions throughout history and His sovereign control over time. By reflecting on events that occurred long ago, believers are reminded of God's faithfulness, the fulfillment of His promises, and the assurance of His future plans. The Bible's historical narratives, genealogies, prophecies, and covenants all serve to connect the past with the present, providing a foundation for understanding God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(a. & adv.)
