STRONGS NT 1529: εἴσοδος

εἴσοδος, εἰσόδου, ἡ (ὁδός) (from Homer on), an entrance, i. e. both the place or way leading into a place (as, a gate), and the act of entering; only in the latter sense in the N. T. With the genitive of place, τῶν ἁγίων, entrance into the holy place, i. e. reception into heaven, Hebrews 10:19 (but in 20 apparently called ὁδός); εἰς τήν βασιλείαν τοῦ κυρίου, 2 Peter 1:11; of the act of coming forward to administer an office, Acts 13:24; with πρός τινα added, 1 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 2:1.

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From εἰς (G1519) meaning "into" and ὁδός (G3598) meaning "way" or "road."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εἴσοδος, similar concepts of entrance or entry can be found in Hebrew words such as בּוֹא (bo, H935), which means "to come" or "to enter," and פֶּתַח (pethach, H6607), meaning "opening" or "entrance." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe physical and metaphorical entrances, paralleling the Greek usage in the New Testament.

Usage: The word εἴσοδος is used in the New Testament to describe both physical entrances and metaphorical concepts of entering into a state or condition. It appears in contexts that emphasize the act of entering or the means by which one enters.

Context: • Literal Usage: In its literal sense, εἴσοδος is used to describe a physical entrance or gateway. For example, it can refer to the entrance of a building or a city. This usage underscores the concept of a threshold or point of access.

• Metaphorical Usage: Metaphorically, εἴσοδος is employed to describe the act of entering into a new phase or condition, often with spiritual implications. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the entrance of the gospel into a community or the entry of believers into the kingdom of God.

• Scriptural Examples:
• In 1 Thessalonians 1:9, Paul speaks of the "entrance" of the gospel into the lives of the Thessalonians: "For they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God."
• In 2 Peter 1:11, the term is used to describe the "entrance" into the eternal kingdom: "and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

• Theological Implications: The use of εἴσοδος in the New Testament often carries theological weight, emphasizing the transformative power of the gospel and the believer's transition from one state of being to another. It highlights the concept of access granted through faith and the work of Christ.
