A precedent occurs when a previous event or action becomes an example or guide that is considered for similar circumstances in the future.

Throughout scripture we learn both what should be done and what should not be done based on a precedent established.

By definition, application of biblical events and actions are powerful examples that must be considered for similar circumstances in the future.

The terminology we use states, “If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.” Some of the greatest lessons on leadership are based on these biblical precedents.
