Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root "ταχύς" (tachys), meaning "quick" or "swift."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ταχινός, similar concepts of swiftness or imminence can be found in Hebrew words such as מָהֵר (maher, Strong's Hebrew 4116), which means "to hasten" or "to be quick." This reflects a similar sense of urgency or rapidity in action or event.

Usage: The term ταχινός is used in the New Testament to describe events or actions that are expected to happen quickly or without delay. It emphasizes the immediacy or urgency of the subject it describes.

Context: The Greek word ταχινός appears in the New Testament to underscore the urgency or impending nature of certain events, particularly in eschatological contexts. It is often used to convey the idea that something is about to happen soon, reflecting a sense of immediacy and anticipation.

In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), ταχινός is used in contexts that highlight the swift fulfillment of divine promises or judgments. For example, in 2 Peter 1:14, the Apostle Peter uses a form of this word to describe the impending nature of his own death: "since I know that it will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me." Here, ταχινός underscores the nearness of the event, as revealed to Peter by Christ.

The use of ταχινός in the New Testament often serves to remind believers of the urgency of their faith and the need to remain vigilant and prepared for the fulfillment of God's promises. It reflects a theological perspective that emphasizes the certainty and swiftness of God's actions in the world.
