Topical Encyclopedia
The term "raiser" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible as a specific word; however, the concept can be associated with themes of raising or lifting up, which are prevalent throughout the Scriptures. In biblical contexts, the idea of raising often pertains to God’s actions in elevating individuals, nations, or even His own name and glory.

Raiser of the Lowly

One of the most profound themes in the Bible is God as the raiser of the lowly. In 1 Samuel 2:8, Hannah's prayer exclaims, "He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes and bestows on them a throne of honor." This passage highlights God's sovereign ability to elevate those who are humble and in need, demonstrating His justice and mercy.

Raiser of the Dead

The New Testament frequently presents Jesus Christ as the raiser of the dead, a testament to His divine authority and power over life and death. In John 11:25, Jesus declares, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies." This statement precedes the raising of Lazarus, a miracle that underscores Jesus' role as the giver of life and His power to raise the dead.

Raiser of Nations

God's sovereignty extends to the rise and fall of nations. In Daniel 2:21, it is written, "He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them." This verse reflects the biblical understanding that God is the ultimate authority over the political and historical movements of the world, raising nations according to His divine plan and purpose.

Raiser of the Righteous

The Psalms frequently speak of God raising the righteous. Psalm 145:14 states, "The LORD upholds all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down." This assurance provides comfort to believers, affirming that God supports and elevates those who are faithful to Him, even in times of trouble.

Raiser of the Savior

In the prophetic literature, the anticipation of a Messiah who would be raised up to deliver Israel is a recurring theme. Isaiah 11:1 speaks of a shoot coming up from the stump of Jesse, a prophecy fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who was raised up as the Savior of the world. This raising is both literal, in His resurrection, and metaphorical, in His exaltation as King of Kings.

Raiser of the Church

In the New Testament, the concept of raising is also applied to the Church. Ephesians 2:6 states, "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." This passage emphasizes the spiritual elevation of believers, who are raised with Christ through faith, signifying their new identity and position in the heavenly realm.

In summary, while the specific term "raiser" may not be explicitly used in the BSB, the concept is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, illustrating God's power to elevate individuals, nations, and His own purposes throughout history.
