Strong's Lexicon endémeó: To be at home, to dwell, to be present Original Word: ἐνδημέω Word Origin: From the combination of "en" (in) and "dēmos" (people, land, or home), suggesting a sense of being at home or among one's people. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "endémeó," the concept of dwelling or being at home can be related to Hebrew words like "שָׁכַן" (shakan), meaning to dwell or reside. Usage: The verb "endémeó" conveys the idea of being at home or present in a particular place. It is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe a state of being at home in the body or with the Lord. This term reflects a sense of belonging or being in one's rightful place. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "home" was deeply significant, often tied to one's identity and social status. Being "at home" implied security, familiarity, and a sense of belonging. In the context of early Christianity, this term took on a spiritual dimension, reflecting the believer's dual citizenship in both the earthly and heavenly realms.
