Usage: The term προκηρύσσω is used in the context of making a public proclamation or announcement, often with a sense of urgency or importance. It is typically associated with the act of heralding a message or decree before an event or occurrence. Context: The Greek verb προκηρύσσω (prokērýssō) is a compound word that combines the preposition πρό (pro), meaning "before" or "in advance," with the verb κηρύσσω (kērýssō), which means "to proclaim" or "to herald." This term is used to describe the act of making a public announcement or proclamation ahead of time. In the context of the New Testament, προκηρύσσω is often associated with the proclamation of significant events or messages, such as the coming of the Messiah or the announcement of the Kingdom of God. The act of προκηρύσσω is not merely a casual announcement but carries the weight of authority and urgency. It is akin to the role of a herald who goes before a king to announce his arrival or the declaration of a royal decree. This term underscores the importance of the message being proclaimed and the need for the audience to prepare or respond accordingly. In the Berean Standard Bible, προκηρύσσω is used to convey the idea of foretelling or announcing something of great significance. For example, in the context of the New Testament, it may refer to the prophetic announcements made by John the Baptist or the apostles as they prepared the way for the ministry of Jesus Christ.
