This theme is prevalent throughout both the Old and New Testaments, illustrating the consequences of turning away from God's commandments and the resulting devastation. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the term "ruined" frequently describes the physical and spiritual desolation that befalls those who oppose God's will. One of the most vivid examples is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. <a href="/genesis/19-24.htm">Genesis 19:24-25</a> recounts, "Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus He overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground." This passage highlights the complete ruin brought upon these cities due to their wickedness. The prophets often warned Israel and Judah of impending ruin if they continued in their idolatry and injustice. <a href="/isaiah/1-7.htm">Isaiah 1:7</a> laments, "Your land is desolate; your cities are burned with fire. Foreigners devour your fields before you—a desolation demolished by strangers." Here, the ruin is both a physical and moral consequence of the nation's rebellion against God. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of ruin extends to spiritual destruction. Jesus warns of the ruin that comes from building one's life on anything other than His teachings. In <a href="/matthew/7-26.htm">Matthew 7:26-27</a> , He states, "But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse." The Apostle Paul also speaks of spiritual ruin in the context of false teachings and moral decay. In <a href="/1_timothy/6-9.htm">1 Timothy 6:9</a> , he warns, "Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction." Here, ruin is associated with the spiritual downfall that results from prioritizing wealth over godliness. Symbolism and Restoration While the Bible frequently uses the imagery of ruin to depict judgment and the consequences of sin, it also offers hope for restoration. The prophets often spoke of a future where God would restore what had been ruined. <a href="/isaiah/61-4.htm">Isaiah 61:4</a> promises, "They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations." This restoration is ultimately fulfilled in the redemptive work of Christ, who offers new life and hope to those who turn to Him. In summary, the theme of ruin in the Bible serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and disobedience, while also pointing to the hope of restoration through repentance and faith in God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Ruin.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/623.htm">623.
