## Definition:
|
|
|
|
The terms "declare" and "declaration" refer to making a formal or public statement, often to emphasize something. To "proclaim" means to announce or declare something publicly and boldly.
|

* A "declaration" not only emphasizes the importance of what is being proclaimed, but it also calls attention to the one making the declaration.
|
|
* For example, in the Old Testament, a message from God is often preceded by "the declaration of Yahweh" or "this is what Yahweh declares." This expression emphasizes that it is Yahweh himself who is saying this. The fact that the message comes from Yahweh shows how important that message is.
|
|
* Often in the Bible, "proclaim" means to announce publicly something that God has commanded, or to tell others about God and how great he is.

|
* In the New Testament, the apostles proclaimed the good news about Jesus to many people in many different cities and regions.
