Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From πρό (pro, meaning "before") and ἀκούω (akouō, meaning "to hear")Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H8085 שָׁמַע (shama) • to hear, listen Usage: The term προακούω is used in contexts where information or news is received prior to an event or occurrence. It implies a foreknowledge or advance notice of something that is to happen. Context: The Greek verb προακούω is a compound word that combines the preposition πρό, meaning "before," with the verb ἀκούω, meaning "to hear." This construction conveys the idea of hearing something in advance or being informed ahead of time. In the New Testament, the concept of foreknowledge is significant, often relating to divine knowledge or prophetic insight. While the specific term προακούω may not appear frequently in the biblical text, the underlying concept is present in various passages where God reveals His plans or where individuals receive divine insight into future events.
