Rise

  

It is common in the Bible for people to "rise up," and it would be easy to pass over the phrase as simply describing a physical action. But in fact it represents an elevation in spiritual state, moving to a more internal frame of mind closer to the Lord. Often it has to do with understanding a new or important idea; we "rise up" to a state of greater perception and enlightenment. Obviously context is crucial to the exact meaning of the phrase in a given passage -- it matters greatly who it is that is rising up, and why.

9321. 'And completely break to pieces their pillars' means that the same must be done to falsities of worship, that is to say, they must be removed. This is clear from the meaning of 'breaking to pieces' - when it has reference to falsities of worship, meant by 'pillars' - as removing, as above in 9320; and from the meaning of 'pillars' as falsities of worship, dealt with in 3727, 4580.
