The act of jumping is often associated with exuberance and celebration, reflecting a heart full of joy and gratitude towards God. Biblical References: 1. Expressions of Joy: Jumping is sometimes used metaphorically to describe the joy and excitement of God's people. In the context of worship and celebration, jumping can be seen as an outward expression of inner joy. For example, in the Psalms, expressions of physical exuberance are often linked to worship and praise. While the specific act of jumping is not always mentioned, the spirit of joyful movement is evident. <a href="/psalms/30-11.htm">Psalm 30:11</a> states, "You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy." 2. Agility and Strength: Jumping can also symbolize agility and strength, qualities that are often attributed to God's provision and blessing. In <a href="/2_samuel/22-30.htm">2 Samuel 22:30</a> , David declares, "For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall." This verse highlights the divine empowerment that enables physical feats, including jumping or leaping over obstacles. 3. Divine Intervention: The miraculous healing of the lame man in <a href="/acts/3-8.htm">Acts 3:8</a> provides a vivid example of jumping as a response to divine intervention. After being healed by Peter and John, the man "leaped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God." This act of jumping is a direct result of God's miraculous power and serves as a testimony to His ability to transform lives. 4. Prophetic Imagery: Jumping is also used in prophetic imagery to convey the idea of renewal and restoration. In <a href="/malachi/4-2.htm">Malachi 4:2</a> , the prophet speaks of a future time of healing and joy: "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like calves from the stall." This imagery captures the exuberance and freedom that come with God's redemptive work. Theological Implications: From a theological perspective, jumping can be seen as a symbol of the joy and freedom found in a relationship with God. It reflects the believer's response to God's grace and the transformative power of His presence. The physical act of jumping, whether literal or metaphorical, serves as a reminder of the vitality and joy that characterize the life of faith. In summary, while the Bible does not frequently mention jumping as a specific action, it is often implied in contexts of joy, strength, and divine intervention. These instances highlight the dynamic and celebratory aspects of the believer's relationship with God, underscoring the joy and freedom that come from His presence and power.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

See <a href="../g/games.htm">GAMES</a>. JUNIAS; JUNlA joo'-ni-as or joo'-ni-a (Iounias, Iounia): One to whom, with Andronicus, greetings are sent by Paul at the close of his letter to the Romans (<a href="/romans/16-7.htm">Romans 16:7</a>). The name may be masculine, Junias, a contraction of Junianus, or feminine Junia; it is Iounian, the accus. form, that is given. In all probability this is the masc., Junias. Paul defines the two as (1) "my kinsmen," (2) "my fellow-prisoners," (3) "who are of note among the apostles," and (4) "who also have been in Christ before me." (1) They were Jews. Paul calls the Jews "my brethren," "my kinsmen according to the flesh" (<a href="/romans/9-3.htm">Romans 9:3</a>). Because Prisca and Aquila, a Jew and Jewess, are not designated as kinsfolk, Conybeare and Howson suppose "the epithet to denote that the persons mentioned were of the tribe of Benjamin." (2) They had been companions of Paul in some unrecorded imprisonment. The phrase denotes more than the fact that they, like Paul, had suffered imprisonment for the sake of Christ. (3) This may mean (a) that they were well known to the apostolic circle (so Gifford and Weiss), or (b) distinguished as apostles. The latter is probably correct, "apostle" being used in a wide sense (compare <a href="/1_corinthians/15-7.htm">1 Corinthians 15:7</a>). The prophetic ministry of the early church consisted of apostles, prophets and teachers (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-28.htm">1 Corinthians 12:28</a> <a href="/ephesians/4-11.htm">Ephesians 4:11</a>), the apostles being missionaries in the modern sense (see Lindsay, Church and Ministry, chapter iii). Some apostles were missionaries sent out by particular churches (<a href="/acts/13-2.htm">Acts 13:2, 3</a> <a href="/2_corinthians/8-23.htm">2 Corinthians 8:23</a> <a href="/philippians/2-25.htm">Philippians 2:25</a>). (4) They were among the first converts, "early disciples" like Mnason of Cyprus (<a href="/acts/21-16.htm">Acts 21:16</a>). S. F.
