Topical Encyclopedia
The term "lanched" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible or other traditional translations of the Bible. However, the concept it represents can be associated with the act of piercing or making an incision, often for the purpose of releasing pressure or fluid, as in a medical procedure. This concept can be related to several biblical passages and themes, particularly those involving piercing or wounds.

Biblical Context and References

1. Piercing of Jesus' Side: One of the most significant events related to the concept of "lanched" is the piercing of Jesus' side during the crucifixion. In John 19:34 , it is recorded, "Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out." This act fulfilled the prophecy and symbolized the outpouring of grace and the establishment of the New Covenant through Jesus' sacrifice.

2. Prophetic Fulfillment: The piercing of Jesus is seen as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Zechariah 12:10 states, "Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced." This prophecy underscores the recognition and mourning for the Messiah, whom they have wounded.

3. Symbolism of Wounds: The concept of being pierced or wounded is also symbolic of the suffering and sacrifice required for redemption. Isaiah 53:5 speaks of the Suffering Servant, "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." This passage highlights the redemptive purpose of Christ's suffering.

4. Spiritual Application: In a spiritual sense, the idea of being "lanched" can be applied to the believer's life. Just as a physical lancing releases pressure and brings healing, spiritual piercing—through conviction and repentance—leads to spiritual healing and renewal. Hebrews 4:12 describes the Word of God as "sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

Theological Implications

The act of piercing, as seen in the crucifixion, carries deep theological significance. It is a vivid reminder of the cost of sin and the extent of God's love in providing a means of atonement through Jesus Christ. The flow of blood and water from Jesus' side is often interpreted as a symbol of the sacraments of baptism and communion, representing purification and the sustenance of spiritual life.

Historical and Cultural Insights

In ancient times, lancing was a common medical practice used to treat infections or relieve pressure. The imagery of piercing in the Bible would have been understood by contemporary audiences as a serious and often painful act, underscoring the gravity of the events described.

While the specific term "lanched" may not appear in the biblical text, its conceptual relevance is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating themes of sacrifice, fulfillment of prophecy, and the transformative power of Christ's atoning work.
