The term "emerged" is not directly found in the text of the Bible; however, the concept of emergence is prevalent throughout the biblical narrative. It often signifies the appearance or coming forth of individuals, nations, or divine interventions that play pivotal roles in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.

Creation and Emergence of Life

In the Genesis account, the emergence of life is a central theme. God commands the earth to bring forth living creatures, and they emerge according to His word. Genesis 1:24 states, "And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so." This emergence of life signifies God's sovereign power and creative authority.

Emergence of Israel

The emergence of the nation of Israel is a significant theme in the Old Testament. From the call of Abraham to the Exodus from Egypt, Israel's emergence as a distinct people chosen by God is a testament to His covenantal faithfulness. In Exodus 19:5-6 , God declares to the Israelites, "Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine. And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." This emergence is marked by divine intervention and guidance.

Emergence of Leaders

Throughout the Bible, God raises up leaders who emerge at critical times to guide His people. Moses emerges as a leader to deliver Israel from bondage in Egypt. Judges like Deborah and Gideon emerge to deliver Israel from oppression. In 1 Samuel 16:12-13 , David emerges as the anointed king: "So Jesse sent for him and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, 'Rise and anoint him, for he is the one.' So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward."

Emergence of Prophets

Prophets emerge throughout the biblical narrative to call Israel back to faithfulness and to proclaim God's word. Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, among others, emerge as voices of truth and repentance. In Isaiah 6:8 , the prophet responds to God's call: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'"

Emergence of the Messiah

The emergence of Jesus Christ as the Messiah is the culmination of God's redemptive plan. His birth, life, death, and resurrection fulfill the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament. In John 1:14 , the emergence of the Word made flesh is proclaimed: "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."

Emergence of the Church

The emergence of the Church is a key theme in the New Testament. Following Christ's ascension, the Holy Spirit descends at Pentecost, empowering the apostles to preach the gospel. Acts 2:41 records the emergence of the early Church: "Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day." The Church emerges as the body of Christ, tasked with spreading the gospel to all nations.

Eschatological Emergence

The Bible also speaks of future emergence in eschatological terms. The return of Christ and the emergence of a new heaven and a new earth are anticipated events. Revelation 21:1-2 describes this emergence: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

In summary, while the specific term "emerged" may not be explicitly used, the concept is woven throughout the biblical narrative, illustrating God's sovereign hand in bringing forth His purposes through creation, individuals, nations, and ultimately, His Son, Jesus Christ.(imp. & p. p.) of Emerge.5312. nephaq -- to go or come out or forth
