Context: The Greek verb φρυάσσω appears in the New Testament in contexts that convey a sense of defiance or tumultuous behavior. It is notably used in Acts 4:25, where it is part of a quotation from Psalm 2:1, "Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?" (BSB). This usage underscores the rebellious nature of the nations against the Lord and His Anointed One, highlighting a theme of opposition to divine authority. The term captures the essence of human arrogance and the futile attempts to resist God's sovereign will. In the broader biblical narrative, φρυάσσω serves as a reminder of the ultimate futility of human pride and rebellion against the divine order.
