The term "far-echoing" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible or other traditional translations of the Bible. However, the concept of sound or voice carrying over a great distance is a theme that can be explored through various biblical passages and contexts. This entry will examine the idea of "far-echoing" as it relates to the voice of God, the proclamation of His word, and the spread of His message throughout the earth.

The Voice of God

The voice of God is often depicted in Scripture as powerful and far-reaching. In Psalm 29:3-4 , the psalmist describes the voice of the Lord as mighty and majestic: "The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty." This passage illustrates the concept of God's voice echoing across creation, emphasizing His sovereignty and authority.

Proclamation of the Word

The idea of God's word being proclaimed and heard over great distances is central to the mission of the prophets and apostles. Isaiah 40:3 speaks of a voice calling in the wilderness, "Prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God." This prophetic call, later associated with John the Baptist, signifies the far-reaching impact of God's message as it prepares the way for the coming of the Messiah.

In the New Testament, the Great Commission given by Jesus to His disciples in Matthew 28:19-20 underscores the global spread of the Gospel: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you." The command to make disciples of all nations reflects the intention for the message of Christ to echo throughout the world.

The Spread of the Gospel

The early church's efforts to spread the Gospel can be seen as a fulfillment of the "far-echoing" nature of God's word. Acts 1:8 records Jesus' promise to His disciples: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The apostles' missionary journeys, as documented in the Book of Acts, demonstrate the expansive reach of the Gospel message, echoing from Jerusalem to the farthest corners of the known world.

Symbolism in Revelation

In the Book of Revelation, the imagery of sound and voice is used to convey divine messages and judgments. Revelation 14:6 describes an angel flying in midair with the eternal Gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, "to every nation and tribe and tongue and people." This vision symbolizes the universal proclamation of God's message, echoing across the globe and reaching all humanity.

Conclusion

While the specific term "far-echoing" may not appear in the biblical text, the concept is richly embedded in the themes of God's powerful voice, the proclamation of His word, and the global spread of the Gospel. These elements highlight the enduring and far-reaching impact of God's message throughout history and across the world.
