Topical Encyclopedia

The term "removeth" is an archaic form of the verb "remove," often found in older translations of the Bible. It signifies the act of taking away, displacing, or causing something to be no longer present. In the context of Scripture, "removeth" can refer to both physical and spiritual actions, often highlighting God's sovereignty and the transient nature of human life and endeavors.

Biblical Usage:

1. Divine Sovereignty and Judgment:
The concept of God removing kings and establishing them is a recurring theme in the Bible, emphasizing His ultimate authority over human affairs. In Daniel 2:21 , it is written, "He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them." This passage underscores God's control over history and political powers, reminding believers that earthly authority is subject to divine will.

2. Moral and Spiritual Implications:
The removal of sin and its consequences is a central theme in the Bible. Psalm 103:12 states, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." This verse highlights the completeness of God's forgiveness and the transformative power of His grace, offering believers assurance of spiritual renewal and redemption.

3. Warnings and Consequences:
The Bible also uses "removeth" in the context of warnings against disobedience and the resulting divine judgment. In Proverbs 22:28 , it is advised, "Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors." This instruction serves as a metaphor for respecting established moral and spiritual boundaries, with the understanding that removing such boundaries leads to chaos and divine displeasure.

4. The Transience of Life:
The fleeting nature of human life is another aspect where "removeth" is relevant. In Job 14:18 , it is observed, "But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is removed from its place." This imagery reflects the impermanence of earthly existence and the inevitability of change, encouraging believers to place their hope in the eternal rather than the temporal.

5. God's Protection and Provision:
The removal of obstacles and enemies is often depicted as an act of divine intervention for the protection and benefit of God's people. In Psalm 146:9 , it is declared, "The LORD watches over the foreigner; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates." Here, the removal of wickedness is portrayed as part of God's providential care for the vulnerable and oppressed.

Theological Significance:

The use of "removeth" in the Bible serves as a reminder of God's active role in the world, both in judgment and in grace. It calls believers to trust in His sovereign plan, to seek His forgiveness, and to live in accordance with His commandments. The term also encourages reflection on the transient nature of life and the enduring hope found in God's eternal promises.
