The use of "block" in Scripture is not frequent, but its implications are significant in understanding certain passages and themes. 1. Idolatry and False Worship: One of the primary uses of "block" in the Bible is in reference to idols. In the ancient Near East, idols were often carved from blocks of wood or stone. The prophet Isaiah mocks the absurdity of idol worship by describing how a craftsman takes a block of wood, uses part of it to warm himself, and with the rest, he makes a god to worship (<a href="/isaiah/44-14.htm">Isaiah 44:14-17</a>). This passage highlights the futility and deception of idolatry, contrasting the living God with lifeless blocks of material. 2. Stumbling Block: The concept of a "stumbling block" is prevalent in both the Old and New Testaments. It refers to anything that causes someone to sin or fall away from faith. In <a href="/leviticus/19-14.htm">Leviticus 19:14</a>, the law instructs, "You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD." This command underscores the importance of compassion and integrity in the community. In the New Testament, Jesus warns against causing others to stumble, particularly the "little ones" who believe in Him (<a href="/matthew/18-6.htm">Matthew 18:6</a>). The Apostle Paul also addresses this issue, urging believers not to let their freedom in Christ become a stumbling block to others (<a href="/1_corinthians/8-9.htm">1 Corinthians 8:9</a>). 3. Cornerstone and Foundation: While not directly referred to as a "block," the imagery of a cornerstone or foundation stone is significant in biblical architecture and metaphor. Jesus is described as the "chief cornerstone" in <a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20</a>, indicating His foundational role in the Church. The cornerstone is the first block set in the construction of a building, ensuring the structure's alignment and stability. This metaphor emphasizes Christ's essential role in the faith and unity of believers. 4. Symbol of Hardness or Resistance: In some contexts, a block can symbolize hardness or resistance, particularly in the human heart. The Bible often speaks of a "hard heart" as being resistant to God's will and truth. While the term "block" is not explicitly used in this context, the imagery of something solid and unyielding is akin to the spiritual condition described in passages like <a href="/ezekiel/36-26.htm">Ezekiel 36:26</a>, where God promises to remove the heart of stone and give a heart of flesh. 5. Construction and Craftsmanship: In the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple, blocks of stone and wood were essential materials. The detailed descriptions of these sacred spaces in Exodus and 1 Kings highlight the skill and artistry involved in their creation. The use of blocks in these contexts underscores the importance of order, beauty, and reverence in worship. In summary, while the term "block" itself is not extensively used in the Bible, its related concepts and imagery play a significant role in conveying spiritual truths and moral teachings. Whether as a symbol of idolatry, a metaphor for spiritual hindrance, or a component of sacred architecture, the notion of a block invites reflection on the nature of faith, worship, and community.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
