The term "occurring" in the context of the Bible refers to events, actions, or phenomena that take place within the narrative of Scripture. The Bible, as a historical and theological document, is filled with occurrences that are both natural and supernatural, each serving a purpose in God's divine plan.

Occurrences in Creation:

The Bible begins with the occurrence of creation, where God speaks the universe into existence. Genesis 1:1-3 states, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." This occurrence marks the beginning of time and the unfolding of God's creative work.

Occurrences in Human History:

Throughout the Bible, significant occurrences shape the course of human history. The calling of Abraham, the Exodus from Egypt, and the establishment of Israel as a nation are pivotal events. In Genesis 12:1-3 , God calls Abram, saying, "Go from your country, your kindred, and your father’s house to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing."

Occurrences of Divine Intervention:

The Bible records numerous occurrences of divine intervention, where God directly influences the course of events. One such instance is the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21-22 : "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left."

Occurrences in the Life of Jesus:

The life of Jesus Christ is marked by occurrences that reveal His divine nature and mission. His birth, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection are central to the Christian faith. In Matthew 1:22-23 , the occurrence of Jesus' birth fulfills prophecy: "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel' (which means, 'God with us')."

Occurrences in the Early Church:

The book of Acts details occurrences in the early Church, including the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Acts 2:1-4 describes this event: "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw tongues like flames of a fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."

Occurrences in Prophecy:

Prophetic occurrences are significant in the Bible, as they reveal God's plan for the future. The book of Revelation, for example, contains visions of occurrences that will transpire at the end of the age. Revelation 1:1 introduces these prophetic events: "This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John."

Occurrences in the Bible are not random but are orchestrated by God to fulfill His purposes and reveal His character to humanity. Each occurrence, whether historical, miraculous, or prophetic, contributes to the overarching narrative of redemption and the establishment of God's kingdom.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Occur.2414.
