Proclamation
In the Bible, "proclamation" refers to the act of publicly declaring or announcing information, often related to God’s message, laws, or prophetic revelations. The Hebrew word for proclamation, "qara," means to call out or summon, and is frequently used in contexts involving the calling of people to worship or to heed God's commands (e.g., Leviticus 23:2, where God instructs Moses to proclaim the appointed feasts of the Lord). Proclamations in the biblical narrative are also significant during moments of covenant renewal or significant events, such as Joshua's public reading of the law (Joshua 8:34-35).In the New Testament, the concept of proclamation is central to the ministry of Jesus and the early church, highlighting the announcement of the Gospel. The Greek term "kerusso" means to proclaim or preach, indicating the authoritative announcement of the message of salvation (Mark 1:14-15). The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 underscores this idea, as Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations, teaching and baptizing them in His name. Thus, proclamation in the biblical context serves as a vital means of spreading God’s message and calling people to respond to His truths.
