Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is קָרוֹב (qarob), Strong's Hebrew 7138, which also means "near" or "close." Usage: The Greek word "ἐγγύτερον" (eggyuteron) is used to denote a comparative sense of proximity, either in terms of physical distance or metaphorical closeness, such as in time or relationship. It is often used to express the idea of something being closer than before or closer in comparison to something else. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, proximity was not only a matter of physical distance but also carried significant social and relational implications. Being "near" could imply a closer relationship or a more immediate concern. In the context of the New Testament, this term often reflects the eschatological urgency and the nearness of God's kingdom or the return of Christ.
