[Jude 8 uses 1797 (enypniázomai) in connection with the wrong kind of dreaming. This hoping (desiring) opposes God's kingdom – and then expects such personal aspirations to be granted by Him! This shows someone is completely out of touch with the principles of God's kingdom (see also Mt 6:33).]

STRONGS NT 1797: ἐνυπνιάζω

ἐνυπνιάζω (ἐνύπνιον, which see): to dream (Aristotle, h. an. 4, 10, etc.), and deponent ἐνυπνιάζομαι (Hippocrates, Plutarch, Brut c. 24); so always in the Bible, for חָלַם, with future passive ἐνυπνιασθήσομαι, and common with aorist passive ἐνυπνιάσθην, more rarely middle ἐνυπνιασάμην (Genesis 37:9; Judges 7:13); ἐνύπνια ἐνυπνιάζεσθαι (in the Sept. for חְלומות חָלַם), to dream (divinely suggested) dreams: Acts 2:17 from (Joel 2:28); but the reading ἐνυπνίοις (ἐνυπνιάζεσθαι) was long ago restored, which reading also manuscript Alex. gives in Joel. Metaphorically, to be beguiled with sensual images and carried away to an impious course of conduct: Jude 1:8.

These Hebrew terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe dreams that carry divine messages, similar to the usage of ἐνυπνιάζομαι in the New Testament. Dreams in the Hebrew Bible frequently serve as a medium for God to reveal His will, as seen in the stories of Joseph, Daniel, and others.

Usage: The verb ἐνυπνιάζομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of dreaming, often in the context of receiving divine messages or revelations through dreams.

Context: The Greek verb ἐνυπνιάζομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts where dreams are significant as a means of divine communication. In the ancient world, dreams were often considered a medium through which the divine realm interacted with humans, providing guidance, warnings, or revelations. This understanding is reflected in the biblical narrative, where dreams play a crucial role in conveying God's will or future events.

In the New Testament, ἐνυπνιάζομαι is notably used in the Book of Acts. For example, in Acts 2:17, during Peter's sermon at Pentecost, he quotes the prophet Joel, saying, "In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." Here, the dreaming of dreams is associated with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the eschatological fulfillment of God's promises.

The use of ἐνυπνιάζομαι underscores the continuity between the Old and New Testaments regarding the significance of dreams as a channel for divine revelation. It highlights the belief that God can and does communicate with His people through various means, including dreams, as part of His sovereign plan.
