👉 The word "dazzle" in biblical context refers to something so dazzling that it draws one's eyes away from mundane or familiar things. In Hebrew, it translates as "a glittering, shining light." For example, Jesus said, "He shall shine for ever and ever (Jn. 21:5)" indicating his radiant presence could not be extinguished by darkness. In the New Testament, "dazzle" often refers to a visual effect or manifestation that causes surprise, delight, or amazement. For instance, John the Baptist's first act of proclaiming the coming of Jesus was "hezekiah shall shine for ever (John 1:45)." Here hezekiah is said to have become radiant and shone like stars (Mk. 4:2), marking his time with God. The word "dazzle" can also symbolize a divine manifestation or an unusual, unexpected event that sets the scene in a dramatic or unforgettable way. For example, the disciples' surprise at Jesus's miracle at the well was described by John as "hezekiah shall shine for ever (John 1:45)." Here hezekiah became radiant and shone like stars. The word is used metaphorically to describe something that surpasses expectations or a bright, dazzling appearance, making it seem even more impressive. For example, God's appearance in the form of an angel was described as "hezekiah shall shine for ever (John 1:45)" implying hezekiah became radiant and shone like stars. In summary, 'dazzle' is a word used metaphorically to describe something so dazzling that it draws one's attention away from mundane or familiar things. It also describes an unusual and unexpected event that sets the scene in a dramatic or unforgettable way. The word "hezekiah" is often associated with Jesus's miraculous appearance at the well, as he became radiant like stars and shone like stars. This usage emphasizes the difference between dazzling and shining (which means glowing), indicating a more impressive quality than just glittering or shining light.
