Strong's Lexicon proginomai: To happen before, to occur previously Original Word: προγίνομαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: proginomai Pronunciation: prog-EE-no-my Phonetic Spelling: (prog-in'-om-ahee) Definition: To happen before, to occur previously Meaning: I happen (come about) previously. Word Origin: From πρό (pro, "before") and γίνομαι (ginomai, "to become" or "to happen") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "proginomai," the concept of events occurring in the past can be related to Hebrew terms like קָדַם (qadam, Strong's H6923) which means "to come before" or "to precede." Usage: The Greek verb "proginomai" is used to describe events or occurrences that have taken place in the past, often with a sense of precedence or prior happening. It conveys the idea of something that has already occurred or been established before a certain point in time. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, understanding the concept of events that have happened before is crucial for interpreting prophecies, historical narratives, and theological teachings. The early Christian community often reflected on past events, both recent and ancient, to understand God's unfolding plan and to find assurance in His sovereignty.
