Strong's Lexicon phanerósis: Manifestation, Disclosure, Revelation Original Word: φανέρωσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb φανερόω (phaneroō), meaning "to make manifest" or "to reveal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "phanerósis," the concept of divine revelation and manifestation can be related to Hebrew terms such as גִּלּוּי (gilluy, meaning "revelation") and נִגְלָה (niglah, meaning "revealed"). Usage: The term "phanerósis" refers to the act of making something visible or known, particularly in a spiritual or divine context. It is often used to describe the manifestation of spiritual gifts or the revelation of God's power and presence among believers. In the New Testament, it emphasizes the visible and tangible expression of the Holy Spirit's work within the church. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "manifestation" was significant in religious and philosophical contexts, often associated with the revelation of divine mysteries or truths. In the early Christian church, "phanerósis" took on a distinct meaning, highlighting the active presence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers and the community. This was a radical departure from the more abstract and distant views of divinity in contemporary pagan religions. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 5321 phanérōsis – a manifestation, a "coming to light."
