The term "eliminated" is not directly found in the Bible; however, the concept of elimination, particularly in the context of removing sin, evil, or unfaithfulness, is prevalent throughout the Scriptures. The Bible often speaks of God's actions to eliminate sin and purify His people, as well as the call for believers to eliminate sinful practices from their lives.

Old Testament Context

In the Old Testament, the concept of elimination is often associated with God's judgment and the removal of idolatry and wickedness from among His people. For instance, in the book of Deuteronomy, God commands the Israelites to eliminate the Canaanite nations from the Promised Land to prevent the influence of their idolatrous practices: "You must completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you" (Deuteronomy 20:17).

The elimination of sin is also seen in the sacrificial system, where offerings were made to atone for the sins of the people, symbolically removing or eliminating their guilt before God. Leviticus 16 describes the Day of Atonement, where the high priest would lay hands on a scapegoat, confessing the sins of Israel, and then send it into the wilderness, symbolically eliminating the sins from the community (Leviticus 16:21-22).

New Testament Context

In the New Testament, the concept of elimination is closely tied to the work of Jesus Christ, who came to eliminate sin through His sacrificial death and resurrection. The author of Hebrews writes, "But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself" (Hebrews 9:26). This act of elimination is not just a removal of sin's penalty but also its power over believers.

The apostle Paul frequently exhorts Christians to eliminate sinful behaviors from their lives. In his letter to the Colossians, he writes, "But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth" (Colossians 3:8). This call to eliminate sin is part of the process of sanctification, where believers are transformed into the likeness of Christ.

Spiritual Warfare and Elimination

The theme of elimination is also present in the context of spiritual warfare. Believers are called to eliminate the influence of the devil and resist his schemes. James encourages Christians to "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). This resistance involves eliminating any foothold the enemy might have in one's life through sin or disobedience.

Eschatological Elimination

The ultimate elimination of evil is a future hope for Christians, as described in the book of Revelation. At the end of the age, God will eliminate all sin, death, and suffering, establishing a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells. Revelation 21:4 declares, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away" . This final elimination of evil is the culmination of God's redemptive plan.

In summary, while the specific term "eliminated" may not appear in the biblical text, the concept is deeply embedded in the narrative of Scripture, reflecting God's desire to purify His people and ultimately restore creation to its intended glory.(imp. & p. p.) of Eliminate.856. aphedron -- a place of sitting apart, ie a privy, drain
