Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, a herald (kataggeleus) was an important figure who communicated messages from rulers or authorities to the public. This role was crucial in a time when written communication was limited, and oral proclamation was the primary means of disseminating information. In the New Testament, the concept of a herald is applied to those who spread the message of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of vocal proclamation in the early Christian mission.
