Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from ἐν (en, "in") and φαίνω (phainō, "to show" or "to appear").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐμφανίζω, similar concepts of revealing or making known can be found in Hebrew words such as גָּלָה (galah, Strong's Hebrew 1540), which means "to reveal" or "to uncover," and נָגַד (nagad, Strong's Hebrew 5046), meaning "to declare" or "to make known." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of making something visible or known, akin to the Greek ἐμφανίζω.

Usage: The verb ἐμφανίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making something known or visible, often in the context of revealing truth or divine will. It can refer to both physical appearances and metaphorical revelations.

Context: The Greek verb ἐμφανίζω appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the act of making something known or manifest. It is used in contexts where clarity and revelation are essential, often involving divine or spiritual truths.

John 14:21 (BSB): "Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him." Here, ἐμφανίζω is used to describe Jesus' promise to reveal Himself to those who love Him, indicating a personal and spiritual manifestation.

Acts 23:15 (BSB): "Now then, you and the Council, petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more thoroughly. We are prepared to kill him before he arrives." In this context, ἐμφανίζω is used in a more literal sense, referring to the act of making a plan known or apparent.

Hebrews 9:24 (BSB): "For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God." Here, ἐμφανίζω is used to describe Christ's appearance before God, highlighting the significance of His intercessory role.

The use of ἐμφανίζω in the New Testament underscores the importance of revelation, whether it be the self-revelation of Christ to believers or the disclosure of plans and intentions. It conveys the idea of bringing hidden truths to light, making them accessible and understandable.
