Topical Encyclopedia In the context of a Bible Encyclopedia or Topical Bible, the term "life-guards" does not appear explicitly in the Scriptures. However, the concept of protection and guardianship is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, often associated with God's providence and the role of appointed protectors.Biblical Guardianship and Protection The Bible frequently speaks of God as the ultimate protector and guardian of His people. In Psalm 121:7-8 , it is written, "The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul. The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore." This passage highlights the divine assurance of protection that God offers to those who trust in Him. Human Agents of Protection While God is the supreme guardian, He often appoints human agents to act as protectors. In the Old Testament, the role of a watchman is significant. Ezekiel 33:7 states, "As for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from Me." The watchman’s duty was to guard the city and warn of impending danger, serving as a life-guard for the community. Angelic Guardians The Bible also speaks of angels as protectors. Psalm 91:11 declares, "For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." Angels are depicted as divine messengers and protectors, safeguarding the faithful from harm. New Testament Insights In the New Testament, the concept of spiritual guardianship is further developed. Jesus Christ is portrayed as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11). This metaphor emphasizes Christ’s role as the ultimate life-guard, offering eternal protection and salvation to His followers. Additionally, the Apostle Paul speaks of the armor of God in Ephesians 6:11-17 , encouraging believers to "put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes." This passage underscores the spiritual protection available to Christians through faith and righteousness. Conclusion While the specific term "life-guards" is not found in the Bible, the Scriptures are replete with references to divine and human guardianship. Whether through God’s direct intervention, the ministry of angels, or the responsibilities of appointed leaders, the theme of protection is central to the biblical narrative, reflecting God’s enduring care for His people.
