It can also describe the reaction to witnessing or contemplating acts of evil and the resulting divine retribution. Biblical Instances and Themes: 1. Divine Judgment: Horror is frequently associated with the judgment of God upon nations and individuals who have turned away from His commandments. In the prophetic books, horror is depicted as a response to the impending wrath of God. For example, in <a href="/ezekiel/7-18.htm">Ezekiel 7:18</a> , the prophet describes the reaction of the people to God's judgment: "They will put on sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads." 2. Sin and Its Consequences: The Bible often portrays horror as a natural response to the recognition of sin and its devastating effects. In <a href="/psalms/119-53.htm">Psalm 119:53</a> , the psalmist expresses horror at the wickedness of those who forsake God's law: "Rage has taken hold of me because of the wicked who reject Your law." 3. Visions and Revelations: Prophets and seers in the Bible sometimes experience horror as part of their visions or revelations from God. Daniel, for instance, is deeply troubled by the visions he receives, which reveal future events and divine judgments. In <a href="/daniel/7-15.htm">Daniel 7:15</a> , he states, "I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me." 4. Moral and Spiritual Decay: Horror is also used to describe the reaction to moral and spiritual decay within a society. The prophets often lament the state of Israel and Judah, expressing horror at their idolatry and unfaithfulness. <a href="/jeremiah/2-12.htm">Jeremiah 2:12</a> captures this sentiment: "Be appalled at this, O heavens; be shocked and utterly desolate, declares the LORD." 5. Fear of the Lord: While horror can be a response to sin and judgment, it is also related to the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>). This fear is not merely terror but a profound respect and awe for God's holiness and power. The recognition of God's majesty and righteousness can evoke a sense of horror at one's own unworthiness and the gravity of sin. Theological Implications: Horror, as depicted in the Bible, serves as a powerful reminder of the seriousness of sin and the reality of divine judgment. It underscores the need for repentance and the pursuit of righteousness. The biblical portrayal of horror calls believers to a deeper awareness of God's holiness and the consequences of turning away from His commandments. It also highlights the importance of maintaining a reverent fear of the Lord, which leads to wisdom and spiritual growth.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
