Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primary verb

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἥκω, the concept of arrival or presence can be related to several Hebrew terms, such as בּוֹא (bo, Strong's Hebrew 935), which means "to come" or "to enter." This Hebrew verb is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe the arrival of individuals or the coming of significant events, similar to the usage of ἥκω in the New Testament.

Usage: The verb ἥκω is used in the New Testament to denote the act of arriving or being present. It often conveys the sense of having reached a destination or being in a particular place.

Context: The Greek verb ἥκω (hēkō) appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the arrival or presence of a person or event. It is distinct from other Greek verbs like ἔρχομαι (erchomai), which also means "to come" but often implies the process of coming rather than the state of having arrived.

In the New Testament, ἥκω is used in contexts that highlight the fulfillment of a journey or the presence of someone significant. For example, in John 2:4, Jesus uses the term to indicate the arrival of His appointed time: "Jesus replied, 'Woman, why does this concern us? My hour has not yet come.'" Here, ἥκω underscores the concept of divine timing and purpose.

Another notable usage is found in Hebrews 10:7, where it is written, "Then I said, 'Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.'" This passage reflects the fulfillment of prophecy and the presence of Christ as the one who accomplishes God's will.

The verb also appears in contexts of eschatological significance, such as in 2 Peter 3:10, which speaks of the day of the Lord arriving unexpectedly: "But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare."

Overall, ἥκω conveys a sense of arrival and presence that is often tied to divine purpose and fulfillment, whether in the life of Christ, the unfolding of God's plan, or the culmination of history.
