Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μετακινέω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey movement or removal, such as:
• עָבַר (abar, Strong's 5674): To pass over, to go through, to remove.
• נָסַע (nasa, Strong's 5265): To pull up, to set out, to journey, to remove.

These Hebrew terms, like μετακινέω, often carry the connotation of transition or change, whether in a physical, spiritual, or metaphorical sense.

Usage: The verb μετακινέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of moving something from one place to another, often implying a significant or complete removal or change.

Context: The Greek verb μετακινέω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the removal or shifting of objects or concepts. It is used both literally and metaphorically. In Hebrews 12:27, the term is employed to describe the removal of things that can be shaken, indicating a divine action of transformation and purification: "The words, 'Once more,' signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain" (BSB). This passage highlights the eschatological theme of God's ultimate plan to establish an unshakeable kingdom, contrasting the temporal nature of the physical world with the eternal nature of God's promises.

The use of μετακινέω in the New Testament underscores the power and authority of God to enact change and to fulfill His purposes. It reflects the theological understanding that God's actions are decisive and transformative, often leading to a new order or reality. The term also serves as a reminder of the transient nature of earthly things in contrast to the permanence of the divine.
