Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 867: ἄφιξις ἄφιξις, ἀφιξεως, ἡ (ἀφικνέομαι), in Greek writings generally arrival; more rarely departure, as Herodotus 9, 17; Demosthenes 1463, 7; (1484, 8); Josephus, Antiquities 4, 8, 47; 3Macc. 7:18; and so in Acts 20:29. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀφικνέομαι (aphikneomai), meaning "to arrive" or "to come to." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀφίξις, the concept of arrival can be related to several Hebrew terms that convey coming or reaching a destination. Some of these include: • בּוֹא (bo) [Strong's Hebrew 935]: To come, to go, to enter. • נָבַא (naba) [Strong's Hebrew 5012]: To prophesy, often involving the arrival of a prophetic message or messenger. • יָבֵא (yabe) [Strong's Hebrew 2986]: To bring, to lead, often implying arrival at a destination. These Hebrew terms capture the essence of arrival and coming, which are integral to the narrative and theological themes found throughout the Bible. Usage: The term ἀφίξις is not directly used in the New Testament text. It is a classical Greek term that would be understood in the context of arrival or coming to a destination. Context: The term ἀφίξις, while not appearing in the New Testament, is rooted in the broader Greek language and culture, where it denotes the concept of arrival or reaching a destination. In the context of biblical literature, the idea of arrival is significant, often associated with the coming of significant figures or events. For instance, the arrival of Jesus Christ is a central theme in the New Testament, though the specific term ἀφίξις is not used. Theologically, the concept of arrival can be linked to eschatological themes, such as the second coming of Christ, where the anticipation of His return is a pivotal aspect of Christian hope and doctrine. The arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, as described in Acts 2, is another example where the concept of arrival plays a crucial role in the narrative of the early Church. While ἀφίξις itself is not present in the biblical text, its conceptual significance is reflected in the anticipation and fulfillment of divine promises throughout Scripture.
