However, the concept of travelers or those journeying from one place to another is present throughout the biblical narrative, often carrying significant theological and moral implications.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>The idea of being a traveler or sojourner is deeply embedded in the Old Testament. The Hebrew word "ger," often translated as "sojourner" or "stranger," reflects the transient nature of life and the experience of being a foreigner in a land not one's own. This is seen in the lives of the patriarchs, such as Abraham, who was called by God to leave his homeland and journey to a land that God would show him (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1</a>). Abraham's life as a sojourner is emblematic of the faith journey, trusting in God's promises while living as a "passenger" in a foreign land.<br><br>The Israelites themselves were passengers in a broader sense during their exodus from Egypt. Their journey through the wilderness to the Promised Land is a central narrative of the Old Testament, symbolizing the spiritual journey of faith and reliance on God. In this context, the Israelites were not merely travelers but were on a divinely ordained pilgrimage, with God guiding them as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night (<a href="/exodus/13-21.htm">Exodus 13:21</a>).<br><br><b>Prophetic Literature</b><br><br>In prophetic literature, the concept of passengers can be seen in the warnings and judgments pronounced upon nations. For instance, in <a href="/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11</a>, the term "passengers" is used in the context of those who pass through the land, witnessing the aftermath of God's judgment: "On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the Valley of the Travelers east of the Sea. It will block the way of the travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog." . Here, the "travelers" or "passengers" are those who pass by and witness the consequences of defying God, serving as a somber reminder of divine justice.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of being a passenger or traveler is often spiritualized. The Apostle Peter refers to believers as "foreigners and exiles" (<a href="/1_peter/2-11.htm">1 Peter 2:11</a>), emphasizing the temporary nature of life on earth and the call to live in holiness as citizens of heaven. This aligns with the broader New Testament theme of Christians being on a spiritual journey, navigating through a world that is not their ultimate home.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also uses travel imagery to describe the Christian life. In his missionary journeys, Paul himself was a literal passenger, traveling extensively to spread the Gospel. His travels are documented in the Book of Acts, where he faces various trials and tribulations, yet remains steadfast in his mission. Paul's journeys symbolize the perseverance and dedication required in the Christian walk.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of passengers in the Bible underscores the transient nature of human life and the call to live with an eternal perspective. Believers are reminded that their true citizenship is in heaven (<a href="/philippians/3-20.htm">Philippians 3:20</a>), and their time on earth is a journey towards their heavenly home. This perspective encourages a life of faith, obedience, and hope, trusting in God's guidance and provision along the way.<br><br>Throughout Scripture, the imagery of travel and journey serves as a powerful metaphor for the spiritual life, illustrating themes of faith, dependence on God, and the ultimate destination of eternal life with Him.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/carpenter/the_angel_adjutant_of_twice_born_men/viii_a_break_to_canada.htm"><span class="l">A Break to Canada</span></a> <br><b>...</b> The first sitting of third-class <b>passengers</b> were seated around the table in the<br> dining-room for their substantial meal, special tables having been allocated to <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../carpenter/the angel adjutant of twice born men/viii a break to canada.htm</font><p><a href="/library/kennedy/life_and_work_in_benares_and_kumaon_1839-1877/chapter_ii_voyage_to_benares.htm"><span class="l">Voyage to Benares.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> A few years previously a River Steam Company had been formed for the transmission<br> of <b>passengers</b> and goods. <b>...</b> Our <b>passengers</b> were a motley band. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../life and work in benares and kumaon 1839-1877/chapter ii voyage to benares.htm</font><p><a href="/library/griswold/sixty_years_with_plymouth_church/quaker_city_excursion.htm"><span class="l">Quaker City Excursion</span></a> <br><b>...</b> A very beautiful and substantial side-wheel steamship, the Quaker City, was chartered<br> for the journey, and the number of <b>passengers</b> was limited to one hundred <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../griswold/sixty years with plymouth church/quaker city excursion.htm</font><p><a href="/library/kennedy/life_and_work_in_benares_and_kumaon_1839-1877/chapter_i_voyage_to_india.htm"><span class="l">Voyage to India.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> On September 15, 1838, I embarked at Portsmouth with thirty other <b>passengers</b> on<br> the Duke of Buccleugh, a vessel of 650 tons burthen, and landed in Calcutta on <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../life and work in benares and kumaon 1839-1877/chapter i voyage to india.htm</font><p><a href="/library/white/the_acts_of_the_apostles/lesson_42_the_voyage_and.htm"><span class="l">The Voyage and Shipwreck</span></a> <br><b>...</b> and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives."
