Strong's Lexicon prodélos: Clearly evident, manifest, obvious Original Word: πρόδηλος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "προ-" (pro-, meaning "before" or "forth") and "δήλος" (délos, meaning "clear" or "manifest"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "prodélos," the concept of something being clear or manifest can be related to Hebrew words like "נָגַד" (nagad, Strong's H5046), meaning "to make known" or "to declare." Usage: The term "prodélos" is used to describe something that is plainly visible or evident, leaving no room for doubt or ambiguity. It conveys the idea of something being so clear that it is unmistakable to the observer. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the evident nature of certain truths or the manifest character of individuals or actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, clarity and evidence were highly valued in rhetoric and philosophy. The ability to present arguments or truths in a way that was "prodélos" was considered a mark of effective communication and persuasion. In the biblical context, this term underscores the clarity with which God's truths and moral standards are revealed to humanity.
