Strong's Lexicon anatrepó: To overturn, to overthrow, to subvert Original Word: ἀνατρέπω Word Origin: From the Greek words ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and τρέπω (trepo, meaning "to turn" or "to change"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνατρέπω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like הָפַךְ (haphak, Strong's H2015), which means "to overturn" or "to overthrow." Usage: The verb ἀνατρέπω (anatrepó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of overturning or overthrowing something, often in a metaphorical sense. It conveys the idea of causing something to fall apart or be destroyed, particularly in the context of faith or doctrine. This term is used to describe the negative impact of false teachings or actions that lead to spiritual ruin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of overturning or overthrowing was often associated with political or military contexts, where cities or governments could be overthrown. In the New Testament, this term is applied in a spiritual context, reflecting the early Christian community's concern with maintaining doctrinal purity and the dangers posed by false teachings that could lead believers astray.
