The term "indicated" is not directly found in the text of the Bible; however, the concept of indication or being indicated can be understood through various scriptural contexts where God, prophets, or circumstances point towards a particular direction, action, or understanding. In the biblical narrative, God often indicates His will, guidance, or judgment through signs, prophecies, and divine interventions.

Divine Indication through Signs and Wonders

Throughout the Bible, God uses signs and wonders to indicate His presence and will. In the Old Testament, the plagues of Egypt serve as divine indications of God's power and His demand for the release of the Israelites from bondage (Exodus 7-12). The Berean Standard Bible states, "But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh will not listen to you" (Exodus 7:3-4). These signs were clear indications of God's authority and His plan for His people.

Prophetic Indications

Prophets in the Bible often serve as mouthpieces for God, indicating His messages to the people. For instance, the prophet Isaiah indicates the coming of the Messiah, saying, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14). This prophecy is an indication of the future birth of Jesus Christ, a central figure in Christian theology.

Indications of Judgment and Repentance

God's indications are not limited to guidance and prophecy but also include warnings of judgment. The account of Jonah and Nineveh is a prime example. Jonah is sent to indicate to the people of Nineveh that their wickedness has come before God, and they must repent to avoid destruction. Jonah 3:4 states, "On the first day of his journey, Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, 'Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!'" This indication led to the repentance of the Ninevites and the sparing of their city.

Indications of God's Will through Circumstances

In the New Testament, the early church often sought indications of God's will through prayer and circumstances. In Acts 16:6-10 , Paul and his companions are indicated by the Holy Spirit not to preach in certain regions, leading them instead to Macedonia. The passage reads, "During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us.' As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them" (Acts 16:9-10).

Indications of Faith and Obedience

The Bible also indicates the importance of faith and obedience through the lives of its characters. Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac is an indication of his faith and obedience to God. Hebrews 11:17-19 reflects on this, stating, "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son, even though God had said to him, 'Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.' Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death."

In summary, while the specific term "indicated" may not appear in the Bible, the concept is woven throughout the scriptures as God reveals His will, guidance, and judgment through various means. These indications serve as a testament to His sovereignty and the unfolding of His divine plan.1. (imp. & p. p.) of Indicate.
