Usage: The term "sussémon" refers to a sign or signal used to convey a message or to indicate a specific action. In the context of the New Testament, it often implies a prearranged signal or token that is understood by those involved. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, signals or tokens were commonly used in military, political, and social contexts to communicate discreetly or to coordinate actions. Such signs could be visual, auditory, or symbolic, serving as a means of non-verbal communication. In the biblical context, these signals were often used to convey divine messages or to fulfill prophetic actions.
