◄ 4267. proginóskó ►
Strong's Lexicon proginóskó: To foreknow, to know beforehand Original Word: προγινώσκω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: proginóskó Pronunciation: prog-ee-NO-sko Phonetic Spelling: (prog-in-oce'-ko) Definition: To foreknow, to know beforehand Meaning: I know beforehand, foreknow. Word Origin: From πρό (pro, "before") and γινώσκω (ginóskó, "to know") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "proginóskó," the concept of God's foreknowledge can be related to Hebrew terms like ידע (yada, "to know") and חזה (chazah, "to see" or "to perceive"), which convey God's intimate knowledge and perception. Usage: The Greek verb "proginóskó" means to have knowledge of something before it happens or to have foreknowledge. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of God's omniscience and His divine plan, indicating His knowledge of events or individuals before they come into existence or before they occur. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, knowledge and foreknowledge were often associated with divine attributes. The concept of foreknowledge in the biblical context is closely tied to God's sovereignty and His eternal nature. Unlike human foreknowledge, which is speculative and uncertain, God's foreknowledge is perfect and certain, rooted in His eternal purpose and will.
