Definition: In the Bible, 'appulses' refers to a sudden outburst or surge of activity; often in connection with zeal or enthusiasm. It signifies an emotional outpouring that's too powerful or unexpected. The word's meaning varies according to different contexts. In some instances, it may be used figuratively, like when a crowd starts to shout and run away in the middle of a church service. But more commonly, 'appulses' refers to a sudden surge of zeal or enthusiasm, especially when it's too much for one person to handle.
