Topical Encyclopedia

The term "makest" is an archaic form of the verb "make," commonly found in older English translations of the Bible. It is a second person singular form, used primarily in addressing God or individuals in a direct and personal manner. This form is often encountered in the context of prayer, worship, or divine instruction, reflecting a deep sense of reverence and intimacy in communication with the Almighty.

Biblical Usage:

1. Creation and Providence:
The use of "makest" in the Bible often highlights God's role as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. For instance, in Psalm 104:24 , the psalmist declares, "How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures." Here, the act of making is attributed to God's wisdom and creative power, emphasizing His sovereignty over all creation.

2. Divine Guidance and Instruction:
The term is also used in contexts where God provides guidance or instruction to His people. In Psalm 119:105 , the psalmist states, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." While the specific form "makest" is not used in this verse, the concept of God making a way or providing direction is implicit. The use of "makest" in similar contexts underscores the active role of God in leading His people.

3. Human Response to God:
In expressions of worship and devotion, "makest" can be found in prayers and hymns where individuals acknowledge God's work in their lives. For example, in Psalm 23:2 , "He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters," the psalmist recognizes God's provision and care, using the verb to convey a sense of trust and reliance on God's benevolent actions.

4. Moral and Ethical Implications:
The use of "makest" can also carry moral and ethical implications, as seen in passages where God calls His people to righteousness. In Isaiah 1:16-17 , the prophet exhorts, "Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil! Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor." While "makest" is not directly used here, the call to action reflects the transformative work that God desires to make in the hearts and lives of His people.

Theological Significance:

The use of "makest" in the Bible serves as a reminder of the personal and relational nature of God's interaction with humanity. It reflects the belief that God is not distant or detached but is actively involved in the world and in the lives of individuals. This involvement is seen in His creative acts, His guidance and instruction, His provision and care, and His call to moral and ethical living.

In summary, "makest" is a term that encapsulates the dynamic and intimate relationship between God and His creation, highlighting His role as Creator, Sustainer, Guide, and Moral Authority. Through this term, believers are reminded of the ongoing work of God in their lives and the world around them.
