Strong's Lexicon édé: Already, now, by this time Original Word: ἤδη Word Origin: Derived from a primary particle of time Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "édé," the concept of time fulfillment and immediacy can be seen in Hebrew words like עַתָּה (attah, Strong's H6258) meaning "now" or "at this time." Usage: The Greek adverb "édé" is used to indicate that something has occurred or is occurring at the present moment or by a certain point in time. It often conveys a sense of immediacy or completion, suggesting that an action or state is already in effect. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "édé" is used to emphasize the fulfillment of time or the present reality of a situation. The term reflects the Greek understanding of time as both linear and cyclical, where certain events are anticipated and then realized. In the biblical narrative, it often underscores the fulfillment of prophecy or the realization of God's promises.
