Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the preposition ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "above" or "beyond") and ἄνω (anō, meaning "up" or "above").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπεράνω, similar concepts of exaltation and supremacy can be found in Hebrew words such as רוּם (rum, Strong's Hebrew 7311), meaning "to be high" or "exalted," and עָלָה (alah, Strong's Hebrew 5927), meaning "to ascend" or "to go up." These terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe God's exalted position and His sovereign rule over creation.

Usage: The word ὑπεράνω is used in the New Testament to describe the exalted position of Christ and the surpassing greatness of God's power. It emphasizes the supreme authority and preeminence of Christ over all things.

Context: The Greek term ὑπεράνω appears in the New Testament to highlight the exalted status of Jesus Christ and the supremacy of His authority. It is used in contexts that underscore the divine nature and sovereign rule of Christ over all creation. For instance, in Ephesians 1:21, the Apostle Paul writes about Christ being seated "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." This passage emphasizes the comprehensive and eternal dominion of Christ, affirming His position as the ultimate authority over all spiritual and earthly powers.

The use of ὑπεράνω in the New Testament serves to remind believers of the majesty and supremacy of Christ, encouraging them to place their trust and hope in His sovereign rule. It also reflects the theological understanding of Christ's victory over sin and death, having been exalted to the highest place of honor by God the Father.
