The term "notable" in the context of the Bible refers to individuals, events, or characteristics that are distinguished, remarkable, or worthy of attention. Throughout the Scriptures, various figures and occurrences are highlighted as notable due to their significance in God's redemptive plan, their exemplary faith, or their impact on the history of Israel and the early Church.

Notable Individuals

1. Moses: Moses is a notable figure in the Old Testament, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. His life is marked by significant events such as the burning bush encounter (Exodus 3:2-4), the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-22), and the receiving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai (Exodus 31:18). Moses is described as a prophet whom the Lord knew "face to face" (Deuteronomy 34:10).

2. David: King David is another notable character, known for his heart after God (1 Samuel 13:14) and his role in establishing Jerusalem as the political and spiritual center of Israel. His psalms express deep devotion and reliance on God, and his lineage is significant as it leads to Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah (Matthew 1:1).

3. Mary, the Mother of Jesus: Mary is notable for her obedience and faith, chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ. Her response to the angel Gabriel, "I am the Lord’s servant. May it happen to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38), exemplifies her submission to God's will.

Notable Events

1. The Exodus: The deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt is a pivotal event in the Old Testament, showcasing God's power and faithfulness. The plagues, the Passover, and the crossing of the Red Sea are notable for their demonstration of God's sovereignty and care for His people (Exodus 12-14).

2. The Resurrection of Jesus: The resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith, marking Jesus' victory over sin and death. It is notable for its fulfillment of prophecy and its assurance of eternal life for believers. The angel's proclamation, "He is not here; He has risen, just as He said" (Matthew 28:6), underscores its significance.

3. Pentecost: The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost is a notable event in the New Testament, marking the birth of the Church. The apostles were empowered to preach the gospel, resulting in the conversion of about three thousand souls (Acts 2:41).

Notable Characteristics

1. Faith: Throughout the Bible, faith is a notable characteristic of God's people. Hebrews 11, often referred to as the "Hall of Faith," highlights individuals who demonstrated remarkable trust in God, such as Abraham, who "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness" (Romans 4:3).

2. Wisdom: Wisdom is esteemed as a notable virtue, particularly in the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Solomon, known for his wisdom, is a prime example, having asked God for "an understanding heart to judge Your people" (1 Kings 3:9).

3. Courage: Courage is a notable trait seen in figures like Joshua, who was commanded to "be strong and courageous" as he led the Israelites into the Promised Land (Joshua 1:9). Esther also exemplifies courage, risking her life to save her people (Esther 4:16).

In summary, the concept of "notable" in the Bible encompasses individuals, events, and characteristics that stand out due to their importance in God's narrative and their exemplary nature. These elements serve as reminders of God's power, faithfulness, and the virtues He desires in His people.1. (a.) Capable of being noted; noticeable; plan; evident.
