Strong's Lexicon phaneroó: To make manifest, to reveal, to make known, to show openly. Original Word: φανερόω Word Origin: From the Greek word φανερός (phaneros), meaning "visible" or "manifest." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of revealing or making known is גָּלָה (galah), Strong's Hebrew 1540, which means "to uncover" or "to reveal." Usage: The verb "phaneroó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making something visible or known that was previously hidden or not apparent. It often refers to the revelation of divine truths, the manifestation of God's will, or the disclosure of Christ's nature and works. The term can also imply making one's character or deeds evident to others. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of revelation or making something known was significant in both religious and philosophical contexts. The idea of divine mysteries being unveiled was common in various mystery religions and philosophical schools. In the Jewish context, the revelation of God's will and character was central to the prophetic tradition. The New Testament usage of "phaneroó" reflects this background, emphasizing the unveiling of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.
