Definition: The word "advertizes" is a biblical term used in the Old Testament, specifically in context of Jesus Christ's ministry as a prophet. In Matthew 3:10-16 (where the story of the tax collector who had three jars full of gold and silver), it states that when he heard about his friend John the Baptist having anointing of oil for use during the coming festival, he went out into the market to buy some of the precious metals that John used. This is called "advertising" as a means to show his friend's wealth. The phrase "advertizes" can also be seen in other biblical passages: - Matthew 15:9-10 (John the Baptist uses this phrase when he calls for people to gather at the tomb of Jesus on Easter Sunday): "And they came, and found him alone. He said unto them, Whom shall I go unto, but thee? Hast thou not read in thy own text that now is a day of salvation?" (KJV) - Matthew 15:24 (John the Baptist calls for people to gather at Jesus' tomb because he saw "three jars full" of gold and silver): "But they came and found him alone. They said, Where is he? Hast thou not read in thy own text that now is a day of salvation?" (KJV) - Matthew 28:10 (Jesus uses the term "advertizes") when He says to His disciples, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall never hunger and whoever believes in me shall never thirst" (KJV). So in summary, the phrase "advertising" is a way to publicly announce or display one's wealth, often through acts of kindness. It signifies that Jesus Christ as a prophet is present at events that others might not notice for their own benefit.
