Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from πᾶς (pas, meaning "all" or "every") and a form of the adverbial suffix -χοῦ, indicating place or position.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πανταχοῦ, the concept of omnipresence or universality can be related to Hebrew terms such as כָּל (kol, Strong's H3605), meaning "all" or "every," which is often used in contexts that imply totality or completeness. Another related concept is found in the Hebrew understanding of God's omnipresence, as seen in passages like Psalm 139:7-10, where the psalmist speaks of God's presence in all places.

Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to denote the concept of being present in all locations or universally. It emphasizes the omnipresence or widespread nature of an action or presence.

Context: The Greek adverb πανταχοῦ is utilized in the New Testament to convey the idea of omnipresence or universal reach. It appears in contexts where the presence or influence of a person, message, or event is described as being widespread or all-encompassing. For instance, in Acts 17:30, the Apostle Paul, speaking at the Areopagus, declares, "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all people everywhere to repent." Here, πανταχοῦ underscores the universal call to repentance, highlighting the reach of God's command beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.

The use of πανταχοῦ in the New Testament reflects the early Christian understanding of the Gospel's reach and the inclusive nature of God's message. It serves to remind readers of the expansive scope of divine action and the call to all humanity, transcending local and ethnic limitations. This term, though not frequently used, carries significant theological weight in emphasizing the universality of God's presence and the global mission of the Church.
