This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term προγίνομαι, highlighting its significance in the context of biblical theology and its implications for understanding God's interaction with the world.

Usage: The term προγίνομαι is used in the context of events or occurrences that happen prior to a certain point in time. It is often used to describe events that are foreordained or predestined in the divine plan.

Context: The Greek term προγίνομαι is relatively rare in the New Testament, reflecting the concept of events or circumstances that occur before a specific time or event. It is closely related to the theological concept of foreknowledge and predestination, where certain events are understood to be part of God's divine plan, occurring in accordance with His will and purpose.

In the New Testament, the concept of προγίνομαι can be seen in discussions about God's foreordained plans and the unfolding of His purposes throughout history. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes God's sovereignty and His ability to orchestrate events according to His divine wisdom.

The use of προγίνομαι underscores the belief in a God who is actively involved in the world, guiding and directing the course of history. It reflects the assurance that nothing happens outside of God's knowledge and control, providing comfort and confidence to believers that their lives are part of a larger, divinely orchestrated plan.
