Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for θροέω, similar concepts of being troubled or alarmed can be found in Hebrew words such as בָּהַל (bahal • Strong's H926), which means to be dismayed or terrified, and חָרַד (charad • Strong's H2729), meaning to tremble or be afraid. These Hebrew terms capture the emotional response of fear or disturbance akin to the Greek θροέω. Usage: The verb θροέω is used in the New Testament to describe a state of being troubled or alarmed, often in response to unsettling news or events. It conveys a sense of emotional disturbance or agitation. Context: The Greek verb θροέω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals are cautioned against being alarmed or disturbed by external events or reports. This term is notably used in eschatological passages, where Jesus advises His followers not to be troubled by the tumultuous events that will precede the end times. In Matthew 24:6, Jesus instructs His disciples, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but the end is still to come." Here, θροέω is translated as "alarmed," emphasizing the need for believers to maintain their composure and faith despite the chaos around them. Similarly, in Mark 13:7, the parallel passage to Matthew 24:6, the same admonition is given: "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come." The use of θροέω in these contexts underscores the importance of spiritual vigilance and trust in God's sovereign plan, even amidst unsettling circumstances. The term θροέω, therefore, serves as a reminder to Christians to remain steadfast and unshaken by the world's upheavals, trusting in the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.
