Phonetic Spelling: (pro-or-ah'-o)
Definition: To foresee, to see beforehand

Word Origin: From πρό (pro, "before") and ὁράω (horaó, "to see")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7200 רָאָה (ra'ah) - to see, to perceive

- H2372 חָזָה (chazah) - to see, to behold, often used in a prophetic context

Usage: The verb προοράω is used to describe the act of seeing or perceiving something in advance. It implies a sense of foresight or pre-vision, often in a prophetic or divine context. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of God or individuals having foreknowledge or insight into future events.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, foresight was often associated with divine insight or prophecy. The ability to foresee events was considered a gift from the gods or a sign of wisdom. In the Jewish tradition, prophets were seen as individuals who could foresee events through divine revelation. This cultural understanding provides context for the biblical usage of προοράω, particularly in relation to God's omniscience and the prophetic tradition.
