Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and καθίστημι (kathistēmi, meaning "to set" or "to place").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • 7725 שׁוּב (shub): Often translated as "to return" or "to restore," this Hebrew verb is used in contexts of repentance, physical return, or restoration to a previous state.
• 7999 שָׁלַם (shalam): Meaning "to be complete" or "to make amends," this verb is used in contexts of restitution or making whole.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of restoration and returning to a former state, aligning with the Greek concept of ἀποκαθιστάνω in the New Testament.

Usage: The verb ἀποκαθιστάνω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of restoring something to its original or intended state. It can refer to physical restoration, such as healing, or metaphorical restoration, such as the reestablishment of a relationship or order.

Context: The term ἀποκαθιστάνω appears in several key passages in the New Testament, each highlighting a different aspect of restoration. In Matthew 12:13, Jesus uses this term when He heals a man's withered hand, demonstrating His authority to restore physical health: "Then He said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.' So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other."

In Mark 8:25, the term is used in the context of Jesus restoring a blind man's sight: "Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man's eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly."

The concept of restoration is also significant in eschatological contexts. In Acts 3:21, Peter speaks of the "restoration of all things," referring to the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan: "He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets."

Theologically, ἀποκαθιστάνω underscores the biblical theme of God's desire to restore creation to its intended order, whether through physical healing, spiritual renewal, or the final restoration of all things at the end of the age.
