Strong's Lexicon phantazó: To make visible, to appear, to manifest Original Word: φαντάζω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root φαν- (phan-), meaning "to appear" or "to make visible." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves terms related to seeing or appearing, such as רָאָה (ra'ah - Strong's H7200), which means "to see" or "to appear." Usage: The verb "phantazó" primarily means to make something visible or to cause something to appear. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the act of making something known or manifesting a vision or appearance. It can also imply the creation of an impression or the act of making something apparent to the senses or the mind. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of appearances and manifestations was significant, especially in religious and philosophical contexts. The Greeks often spoke of gods and divine beings appearing to humans, and such appearances were considered important revelations. The term "phantazó" would have resonated with early Christian audiences familiar with these cultural ideas, emphasizing the reality and truth of divine manifestations in the Christian faith.
