Strong's Lexicon chronizó: To delay, to tarry, to take time Original Word: χρονίζω Word Origin: Derived from χρόνος (chronos), meaning "time." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of delay or tarrying can be related to the Hebrew word אָחַר (achar, Strong's H309), which also means to delay or tarry. Usage: The verb "chronizó" is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of delaying or taking a longer time than expected. It often implies a sense of waiting or lingering, sometimes with an expectation of something significant occurring after the delay. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, time was often viewed in terms of cycles and seasons, with an emphasis on the right timing for events. The concept of delay could be seen both negatively, as a hindrance, or positively, as a period of preparation or anticipation. In the Jewish context, waiting was a common theme, especially in relation to the coming of the Messiah and the fulfillment of God's promises.
