Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the comparative form of ἐγγύς (engys), meaning "near" or "close."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of nearness in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words like קָרוֹב (qarov, Strong's H7138), which similarly conveys the idea of being near or close in various contexts, including physical proximity, temporal imminence, and relational closeness. Usage: This word is used in the New Testament to describe something that is closer in terms of physical distance, temporal occurrence, or relational proximity. It is often used to convey the idea of approaching or drawing near. Context: The Greek word ἐγγύτερον appears in the New Testament to emphasize the concept of nearness, whether it be in a physical, temporal, or spiritual sense. It is used to describe the proximity of events, such as the coming of the Kingdom of God or the return of Christ. For example, in Romans 13:11, the Apostle Paul writes, "And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed." Here, ἐγγύτερον underscores the urgency and immediacy of the believer's salvation as it draws closer with the passage of time.
