The concept of being "termed" in the Bible often relates to the naming or designation of individuals, places, or events, reflecting their character, purpose, or significance within God's divine plan. In Scripture, names and terms carry profound meanings and are often indicative of God's intentions or the nature of the person or event being described.

Biblical Instances of Naming:

1. Adam and Eve: The first humans, Adam and Eve, were named by God Himself. Adam, derived from the Hebrew word "adamah," meaning "ground" or "earth," signifies his creation from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7). Eve, meaning "life" or "living," was named by Adam because she was "the mother of all the living" (Genesis 3:20).

2. Abram to Abraham: God changed Abram's name to Abraham, meaning "father of many nations," to reflect the covenant promise that he would be the progenitor of a multitude of nations (Genesis 17:5).

3. Jacob to Israel: After wrestling with God, Jacob was renamed Israel, meaning "he struggles with God," signifying his perseverance and the future struggles and triumphs of his descendants (Genesis 32:28).

4. Jesus Christ: The name Jesus, meaning "Yahweh is salvation," was given by divine instruction to Joseph, emphasizing His role as the Savior (Matthew 1:21). Christ, meaning "Anointed One," signifies His messianic role.

Significance of Terms in Prophecy and Symbolism:

1. Immanuel: In Isaiah 7:14, the term "Immanuel," meaning "God with us," is used prophetically to describe the coming Messiah, fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:23).

2. The Lamb of God: John the Baptist termed Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29), symbolizing Jesus' sacrificial role in redemption.

3. The Rock: In 1 Corinthians 10:4, Paul refers to Christ as the "spiritual Rock," a term denoting His foundational and sustaining presence for believers.

Terms Reflecting Character and Mission:

1. Peter (Cephas): Jesus termed Simon as Peter, meaning "rock," to signify the foundational role he would play in the early Church (Matthew 16:18).

2. Barnabas: Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, was termed Barnabas by the apostles, meaning "son of encouragement," reflecting his supportive and encouraging nature (Acts 4:36).

3. Saul to Paul: Although the Bible does not explicitly state the reason for Saul's name change to Paul, it is understood to reflect his mission to the Gentiles, as "Paul" was a common Roman name.

Terms in Eschatology:

1. The Alpha and Omega: In Revelation 1:8, Jesus is termed "the Alpha and the Omega," indicating His eternal nature and sovereign control over history.

2. The Bride of Christ: The Church is termed as the "Bride of Christ" (Revelation 19:7), symbolizing the intimate and covenantal relationship between Christ and His followers.

In the biblical narrative, terms and names are not merely labels but are imbued with theological significance, revealing God's purposes and the identity and destiny of His people.(imp. & p. p.) of Term.
