AB - Unlike the New Testament, research and discussion on the rûaḥ̣ in the Old Testament have not been so active both at home and abroad in terms of frequency and quantity. Although not an active discussion of the Holy Spirit of the New Testament, Pneuma, which has been widely used in the Old Testament and provided with diversity in translation, is a subject of sufficient interest in itself. However, now that the basic and essential meaning and concept of rûaḥ have been studied, it is necessary to ask why the importance of rûaḥ, especially God’s presence, should be raised. According to the Old Testament, it was confirmed that there was a change in the use of rûaḥ according to the trend of the times. Among them, it is not difficult to find cases or characters in which the progress of the case is sharply turned or changed due to the clear difference between when the rûaḥ of God confronts people or does not.
The rûaḥ of God in the Old Testament cannot be solved by the problem of the presence and stay of God. The fact that the rûaḥ of God was present and left to certain characters cannot be dealt with only in a dichotomous dimension. The problem is that the more human inner and self-consciousness is emphasized, the more the rûaḥ of God is introduced as a hidden or hidden figure. Rather, God's rûaḥ continues to stay in the past, present, and future, regardless of our will. The rûaḥ of God is by no means obtainable through human efforts, such as the beginning of life and the grace of salvation. It must be remembered that it is a gift that God brings with him and another form of existence. The rûaḥ of God is in the present progressive form. Therefore, not only the Israelites of the Old Testament, but also the modern believers, are left to sincerely repent to God and return (shûb).
