Topical Lexicon

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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for τάχος, the concept of speed or swiftness can be found in Hebrew words such as מַהֵר (maher, Strong's Hebrew 4116), which means "to hasten" or "to be quick." This reflects a similar idea of promptness or urgency in action or event.

Usage: The term τάχος is used in the New Testament to describe the concept of speed or quickness, often in the context of events that are expected to happen soon or actions that are to be carried out swiftly.

Context: The Greek word τάχος appears in the New Testament to emphasize the immediacy or urgency of an event or action. It is often associated with eschatological themes, where the rapid fulfillment of prophetic events is anticipated. The term underscores the expectation of believers for the swift return of Christ and the unfolding of divine plans.

In the Berean Standard Bible, τάχος is used in contexts that highlight the urgency of spiritual readiness and the promptness of divine intervention. For example, in Revelation 1:1, the phrase "what must soon take place" reflects the use of τάχος to convey the nearness of prophetic events. Similarly, in Revelation 22:6, the angel's message about things that "must soon take place" again employs τάχος to stress the immediacy of the prophecy's fulfillment.

The use of τάχος in the New Testament serves as a reminder to believers of the importance of living in a state of readiness and anticipation, as the fulfillment of God's promises is portrayed as imminent. This sense of urgency is intended to encourage a life of faithfulness and vigilance.
