However, the concept of natural or self-acting processes can be related to Hebrew terms that describe God's creation and providence, such as יָצָר (yatsar, Strong's 3335, "to form, fashion") and עָשָׂה (asah, Strong's 6213, "to do, make"). These terms reflect the idea of God's creative and sustaining power in the world. Usage: The word "automatos" is used in the New Testament to describe actions or processes that occur naturally or automatically. It appears in contexts where the emphasis is on the inherent capability or natural occurrence of an event. Context: The Greek term αὐτόματος is found in the New Testament in the context of describing natural or spontaneous processes. It is used in Mark 4:28, where Jesus explains the parable of the growing seed: "All by itself the soil produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head." (BSB). Here, "automatos" emphasizes the natural and self-sustaining growth of the seed, illustrating the Kingdom of God's inherent power to grow and flourish without human intervention.
