Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἑλίσσω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe rolling or wrapping actions. One such word is גָּלַל (galal • Strong's Hebrew 1556), which means "to roll" or "to roll away." This term is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, including the rolling away of stones or scrolls, and can be seen as conceptually related to the Greek ἑλίσσω in terms of the action described.

Usage: The verb ἑλίσσω is used in the context of rolling or coiling, often metaphorically to describe actions such as wrapping or enveloping.

Context: The Greek verb ἑλίσσω appears in the New Testament with the primary sense of rolling or coiling. This term is used to convey the action of wrapping or enveloping, often in a metaphorical sense. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἑλίσσω is notably used in the context of eschatological imagery, where it describes the heavens being rolled up like a scroll. This imagery is powerful, evoking the idea of the end times when the current order of creation is transformed or concluded.

The use of ἑλίσσω in the New Testament is limited, but its occurrences are significant for understanding the apocalyptic vision and the ultimate sovereignty of God over creation. The rolling up of the heavens signifies a dramatic change, a divine intervention that alters the very fabric of the cosmos. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God's control over the universe and the eventual renewal of all things.
