In the context of the Bible, "forsook" often refers to instances where individuals or groups abandoned their faith, duties, or relationships, particularly in relation to God or His commandments.<br><br><b>Old Testament Instances</b><br><br>1. <b>Israel's Unfaithfulness</b>: The Israelites frequently forsook the Lord by turning to idolatry and abandoning His commandments. <a href="/judges/2-12.htm">Judges 2:12</a> states, "They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them."<br><br>2. <b>King Saul</b>: Saul, the first king of Israel, is an example of someone who forsook God's commands, leading to his downfall. <a href="/1_samuel/15-11.htm">1 Samuel 15:11</a> records God's lament: "I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions."<br><br>3. <b>Prophetic Warnings</b>: Prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah warned Israel and Judah about the consequences of forsaking the Lord. <a href="/jeremiah/2-13.htm">Jeremiah 2:13</a> highlights this: "For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water."<br><br><b>New Testament Instances</b><br><br>1. <b>Disciples' Abandonment</b>: In the New Testament, the disciples forsook Jesus during His arrest. <a href="/mark/14-50.htm">Mark 14:50</a> states, "Then everyone deserted Him and fled."<br><br>2. <b>Demas</b>: Paul mentions Demas, who forsook him because of his love for the world. <a href="/2_timothy/4-10.htm">2 Timothy 4:10</a> says, "because he loved this world, Demas has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica."<br><br>3. <b>Jesus' Cry on the Cross</b>: One of the most poignant uses of "forsook" is in the context of Jesus' crucifixion. <a href="/matthew/27-46.htm">Matthew 27:46</a> records Jesus' cry, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" This reflects the momentary sense of abandonment Jesus felt as He bore the sins of the world.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of forsaking God is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, often associated with disobedience, idolatry, and spiritual adultery. It serves as a warning against turning away from God's covenant and the consequences that follow. The Bible consistently calls believers to remain faithful and warns of the spiritual dangers of forsaking God.<br><br><b>God's Faithfulness</b><br><br>Despite human tendencies to forsake, the Bible emphasizes God's unwavering faithfulness. <a href="/hebrews/13-5.htm">Hebrews 13:5</a> reassures believers with God's promise: "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." This assurance highlights God's steadfast love and commitment to His people, even when they falter.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp.</I>) of Forsake.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/578.htm"><span class="l">578. apoblepo -- to look away from all else at an object</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Moses <b>forsook</b> (looked away from) the allurements of the world -- looking God's reward<br> (note the prefix, ).
