WINDOWS

 

1 Kings 6:4

King James Version

4 And for the house 

he made windows of narrow lights.

What is the significance of windows in the Bible?

I don't know yet, as this is a new venture.

SPIRIT planted the idea in my head.

But we shall find out:

Genesis 7:11-12

King James Version

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, 

in the second month, 

the seventeenth day of the month, 

the same day were all the fountains 

of the great deep broken up, 

and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was upon the earth 

forty days and forty nights.

Genesis 8:1-2

King James Version

8 And God remembered Noah, 

and every living thing, 

and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: 

and God made a wind to pass over the earth, 

and the waters assuaged;

2 The fountains also of the deep 

and the windows of heaven were stopped, 

and the rain from heaven was restrained;

1 Kings 7:4

King James Version

4 And there were windows in three rows, 

and light was against light in three ranks.

2 Kings 7:1-2

King James Version

7 Then Elisha said, 

Hear ye the word of the Lord; 

Thus saith the Lord, 

To morrow about this time 

shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, 

and two measures of barley for a shekel, 

in the gate of Samaria.

2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned 

answered the man of God, and said, 

Behold, 

if the Lord would make windows in heaven, 

might this thing be? 

And he said, 

Behold, 

thou shalt see it with thine eyes, 

but shalt not eat thereof.

2 Kings 7:18-20

King James Version

18 And it came to pass 

as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, 

Two measures of barley for a shekel, 

and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, 

shall be to morrow about this time 

in the gate of Samaria:

19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, 

Now, behold,

 if the Lord should make windows in heaven, 

might such a thing be? 

And he said, 

Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, 

but shalt not eat thereof.

20 And so it fell out unto him: 

for the people trode upon him in the gate, 

and he died.

Ecclesiastes 12:1-3

King James Version

12 Remember now thy Creator 

in the days of thy youth, 

while the evil days come not, 

nor the years draw nigh, 

when thou shalt say, 

I have no pleasure in them;

2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, 

or the stars, be not darkened, 

nor the clouds return after the rain:

3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, 

and the strong men shall bow themselves, 

and the grinders cease because they are few, 

and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

Song of Solomon 2:8-11

King James Version

8 The voice of my beloved! 

behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, 

skipping upon the hills.

9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: 

behold, he standeth behind our wall, 

he looketh forth at the windows, 

shewing himself through the lattice.

10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, 

Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

11 For, lo, the winter is past, 

the rain is over and gone;

Isaiah 24:17-23

King James Version

17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, 

are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

18 And it shall come to pass, 

that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear 

shall fall into the pit; 

and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit 

shall be taken in the snare: 

for the windows from on high are open, 

and the foundations of the earth do shake.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, 

the earth is clean dissolved, 

the earth is moved exceedingly.

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, 

and shall be removed like a cottage; 

and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; 

and it shall fall, and not rise again.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, 

that the Lord shall punish 

the host of the high ones that are on high, 

and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

22 And they shall be gathered together, 

as prisoners are gathered in the pit, 

and shall be shut up in the prison, 

and after many days shall they be visited.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, 

and the sun ashamed, 

when the Lord of hosts shall reign 

in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, 

and before his ancients gloriously.

Isaiah 54:12-13

King James Version

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, 

and thy gates of carbuncles, 

and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; 

and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Isaiah 60:7-9

King James Version

7 All the flocks of Kedar 

shall be gathered together unto thee, 

the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: 

they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, 

and I will glorify the house of my glory.

8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, 

and as the doves to their windows?

9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, 

and the ships of Tarshish first, 

to bring thy sons from far, 

their silver and their gold with them, 

unto the name of the Lord thy God, 

and to the Holy One of Israel, 

because he hath glorified thee.

Jeremiah 9:19-21

King James Version

19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, 

How are we spoiled! 

we are greatly confounded, 

because we have forsaken the land, 

because our dwellings have cast us out.

20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, 

and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, 

and teach your daughters wailing, 

and every one her neighbour lamentation.

21 For death is come up into our windows, 

and is entered into our palaces, 

to cut off the children from without, 

and the young men from the streets.

Jeremiah 22:13-16

King James Version

13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house 

by unrighteousness, 

and his chambers by wrong; 

that useth his neighbour's service without wages, 

and giveth him not for his work;

14 That saith, 

I will build me a wide house and large chambers,

 and cutteth him out windows; 

and it is cieled with cedar, 

and painted with vermilion.

15 Shalt thou reign, 

because thou closest thyself in cedar? 

did not thy father eat and drink, 

and do judgment and justice, 

and then it was well with him?

16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; 

then it was well with him: 

was not this to know me? 

saith the Lord.

Ezekiel 40:16

King James Version

16 And there were narrow windows 

to the little chambers, 

and to their posts within the gate round about, 

and likewise to the arches: 

and windows were round about inward: 

and upon each post were palm trees.

Ezekiel 40:22

King James Version

22 And their windows, 

and their arches, 

and their palm trees, 

were after the measure of the gate 

that looketh toward the east; 

and they went up unto it by seven steps; 

and the arches thereof were before them.

Ezekiel 40:25

King James Version

25 And there were windows in it 

and in the arches thereof round about, 

like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, 

and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

Ezekiel 40:29

King James Version

29 And the little chambers thereof, 

and the posts thereof, 

and the arches thereof, 

according to these measures: 

and there were windows in it 

and in the arches thereof round about: 

it was fifty cubits long, 

and five and twenty cubits broad.

Daniel 6:10-11

King James Version

10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, 

he went into his house; 

and his windows being open in his chamber 

toward Jerusalem, 

he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, 

and prayed, 

and gave thanks before his God, 

as he did aforetime.

11 Then these men assembled, 

and found Daniel praying 

and making supplication before his God.

Joel 2:9-11

King James Version

9 They shall run to and fro in the city; 

they shall run upon the wall, 

they shall climb up upon the houses; 

they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

10 The earth shall quake before them; 

the heavens shall tremble: 

the sun and the moon shall be dark, 

and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: 

for his camp is very great: 

for he is strong that executeth his word: 

for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; 

and who can abide it?

Zephaniah 2:13-15

King James Version

13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, 

and destroy Assyria; 

and will make Nineveh a desolation, 

and dry like a wilderness.

14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, 

all the beasts of the nations: 

both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge 

in the upper lintels of it; 

their voice shall sing in the windows; 

desolation shall be in the thresholds; 

for he shall uncover the cedar work.

15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, 

that said in her heart, 

I am, and there is none beside me: 

how is she become a desolation, 

a place for beasts to lie down in! 

every one that passeth by her shall hiss, 

and wag his hand.

Malachi 3:8-12

King James Version

8 Will a man rob God? 

Yet ye have robbed me. 

But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? 

In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: 

for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, 

that there may be meat in mine house, 

and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, 

if I will not open you the windows of heaven, 

and pour you out a blessing, 

that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, 

and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; 

neither shall your vine cast her fruit 

before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: 

for ye shall be a delightsome land, 

saith the Lord of hosts.
