Strong's Lexicon proginomai: To happen before, to occur previously Original Word: προγίνομαι Word Origin: From πρό (pro, "before") and γίνομαι (ginomai, "to become" or "to happen") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "proginomai," the concept of events occurring in the past can be related to Hebrew terms like קָדַם (qadam, Strong's H6923) which means "to come before" or "to precede." Usage: The Greek verb "proginomai" is used to describe events or occurrences that have taken place in the past, often with a sense of precedence or prior happening. It conveys the idea of something that has already occurred or been established before a certain point in time. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, understanding the concept of events that have happened before is crucial for interpreting prophecies, historical narratives, and theological teachings. The early Christian community often reflected on past events, both recent and ancient, to understand God's unfolding plan and to find assurance in His sovereignty. HELPS Word-studies 4266 progínomai (from 4253 /pró, "before" and 1096 /gínomai, "become") – properly, "emerges from what is before," i.e. transition which brings results that only become apparent later (used only in Ro 3:25). Ro 3:25,26: "25Whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed (4266 /progínomai); 26for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus" (NASU).
