Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Comparative form of the Greek adjective ταχύς (tachys), meaning "quick" or "swift."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While τάχιον is a Greek term, its concept of swiftness or promptness can be related to several Hebrew words that convey similar meanings, such as:

• Strong's Hebrew 4116 (מָהַר, mahar): Meaning "to hasten" or "to hurry."
• Strong's Hebrew 7031 (קַל, qal): Meaning "swift" or "light."

These Hebrew terms, like τάχιον, emphasize speed and urgency, reflecting a common theme of promptness in both the Old and New Testaments.

Usage: The word τάχιον appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of doing something more quickly or hastening an action. It is often used in contexts where urgency or promptness is emphasized.

Context: The Greek word τάχιον is a comparative adverb derived from ταχύς, which means "quick" or "swift." In the New Testament, τάχιον is used to express a sense of urgency or the need for prompt action. It appears in contexts where immediate response or rapid movement is required. For example, in the Berean Standard Bible, τάχιον is used in the following passages:

• John 13:27 (BSB): "As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. 'What you are about to do, do quickly,' Jesus told him." Here, τάχιον underscores the urgency of Judas's impending betrayal.

• Philippians 2:24 (BSB): "And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come quickly." In this verse, τάχιον reflects Paul's hope to visit the Philippians soon, emphasizing his eagerness and the anticipated speed of his journey.

The use of τάχιον in these contexts highlights the importance of timely action and the expectation of swift fulfillment of tasks or events. It serves as a reminder of the immediacy often required in the unfolding of divine plans and human responses.
