In biblical terms, "indication" refers to signs, symbols, or events that point to a deeper spiritual truth or divine message. Throughout Scripture, God uses various forms of indication to communicate His will, guide His people, and reveal His plans. These indications can be found in prophetic messages, miraculous events, and the fulfillment of promises.

Prophetic Indications

The Bible is replete with prophetic indications that foretell future events or reveal God's intentions. Prophets in the Old Testament often provided indications of God's plans for Israel and the coming of the Messiah. For example, Isaiah 7:14 provides a significant indication of the virgin birth of Jesus: "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."

Miraculous Indications

Miracles serve as powerful indications of God's presence and authority. In the New Testament, Jesus performed numerous miracles that indicated His divine nature and the coming of God's kingdom. In John 2:11, the miracle of turning water into wine at Cana is described as the first of the signs through which Jesus revealed His glory: "Jesus performed this first sign at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him."

Indications of Divine Guidance

God often provides indications to guide His people in their decisions and actions. In the Old Testament, the Israelites received guidance through various signs. For instance, the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night served as indications of God's presence and direction during the Exodus (Exodus 13:21-22).

Fulfillment of Promises

The fulfillment of God's promises serves as an indication of His faithfulness and sovereignty. The birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are central indications of the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. In Luke 24:44, Jesus Himself refers to the fulfillment of these indications: "He said to them, 'These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.'"

Indications in Parables and Teachings

Jesus often used parables and teachings as indications of spiritual truths. These accounts and lessons provided insight into the nature of God's kingdom and the expectations for His followers. For example, the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:3-9 serves as an indication of how different people receive and respond to the word of God.

Indications of the End Times

The Bible also contains indications concerning the end times and the return of Christ. In Matthew 24, Jesus provides His disciples with signs of the end of the age, including wars, famines, and earthquakes, as indications of the approaching fulfillment of God's ultimate plan.

In summary, indications in the Bible serve as vital tools for understanding God's communication with humanity. They reveal His character, guide His people, and affirm His promises, providing believers with assurance and direction in their faith journey.1. (n.) Act of pointing out or indicating.
