Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντίκειμαι, the concept of opposition can be found in several Hebrew terms, such as:
H7854 שָׂטָן (satan): Meaning "adversary" or "opponent," often used to describe both human and spiritual adversaries.
H6145 עָרַב (arab): Meaning "to oppose" or "to be hostile," used in various contexts of enmity or opposition.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of opposition and hostility found in the Greek ἀντίκειμαι, illustrating the continuity of this concept throughout the biblical narrative.

Usage: The term ἀντίκειμαι is used in the New Testament to describe opposition or hostility, often in a spiritual or moral context. It conveys the idea of being in opposition to something or someone, either actively or passively.

Context: The Greek term ἀντίκειμαι appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating the concept of opposition or hostility. It is used to describe both human and spiritual adversaries. In Luke 13:17, it refers to those who were put to shame by Jesus' actions, highlighting their opposition to His ministry. In 1 Corinthians 16:9, Paul speaks of many adversaries (ἀντίκειμαι) in the context of his ministry opportunities, indicating the presence of opposition to the spread of the Gospel. Philippians 1:28 uses the term to describe those who oppose the believers, serving as a sign of their destruction but of the believers' salvation. In 2 Thessalonians 2:4, it describes the man of lawlessness who opposes (ἀντίκειμαι) and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship. Finally, in 1 Timothy 1:10, it is used in a list of those who are contrary to sound doctrine, indicating moral and ethical opposition.

The concept of ἀντίκειμαι is significant in understanding the spiritual and moral conflicts faced by early Christians. It underscores the reality of opposition in the Christian life, whether from human adversaries or spiritual forces. This opposition is often portrayed as a natural consequence of living in a fallen world and standing for the truth of the Gospel.
