These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with ἐγγίζω, emphasizing the concept of nearness in both physical and spiritual contexts within the Old Testament. Usage: The verb ἐγγίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of drawing near or approaching, whether in a physical, temporal, or spiritual sense. It is often used to indicate the nearness of the Kingdom of God, the approach of a person to another, or the proximity of an event. Context: The Greek verb ἐγγίζω appears frequently in the New Testament, emphasizing the concept of nearness in various contexts. It is used both literally and metaphorically, illustrating the multifaceted nature of proximity in biblical theology. • Literal Proximity: In passages such as Luke 15:1, "Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus," ἐγγίζω is used to describe the physical act of people drawing near to Jesus to hear His teachings. • Temporal Nearness: The term is also employed to denote the imminence of events, as seen in Matthew 26:45, "Then He returned to the disciples and said, 'Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.'" • Spiritual Nearness: ἐγγίζω is significant in conveying the nearness of the Kingdom of God. In Matthew 3:2, John the Baptist declares, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." This usage underscores the urgency and immediacy of the Kingdom's arrival and the call to repentance. • Relational Nearness: The verb also highlights relational closeness, as in James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." This passage encourages believers to seek a closer relationship with God, promising reciprocal intimacy. Theologically, ἐγγίζω underscores the accessibility of God and His Kingdom, inviting believers to approach with confidence and readiness. It serves as a reminder of the ever-present opportunity for repentance, relationship, and readiness for the fulfillment of God's promises.
