Definition: The word "All Approaching" in the Bible has several meanings, but one commonly cited one is found in Proverbs 16:25: > > "And all that are come near, will be brought near to thee; and ye shall not be turned aside from thy right way." > > > Here's a detailed definition of what this verse means: The verb
All
is used in this context to indicate the entire crowd or assembly. This phrase is often combined with the infinitive form
approaching
. The word 'all' refers to all participants, as in all the people will be at one table. The participle
Approaching
indicates that someone (the speaker) is approaching or approaching a person (the object of his speech). It is also used figuratively, indicating an increase in number. In this verse, it's significant because it emphasizes the idea that by coming near to God or others, we will not be turned away from our path. This implies that being near someone or something can bring us closer to God or other believers. The context suggests that it is not merely a physical approach; rather, there should be no rejection of people who are not at one's right table (the right place, according to the Proverbs verse). The speaker is encouraging everyone to come close, as long as they are prepared and ready for spiritual nourishment.

all-approving

Definition: In the Bible, the verb 'approbating' refers to approving something or someone as good or acceptable. This word comes from Hebrew and means "to approve" or "to confirm." The most common use in this context occurs in the New Testament where Jesus's statement, "I will go further than all my brothers," is taken to mean that he approves of his disciples who are going through a difficult journey.

approving

Definition: The word "approvingly" in the Bible refers to a sense of understanding or agreement with someone or something, typically without any direct confrontation. It's used in context where two parties have reached an understanding or agree on a specific topic or situation. For instance, it could refer to a person who acknowledges another person's perspective without making any immediate physical or verbal response (like "approvingly"). The exact definition depends heavily on the cultural and religious contexts in which the phrase is used.
