Strong's Lexicon epanistémi: To rise up against, to rebel, to stand up Original Word: ἐπανίστημι Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "against") and the verb ἵστημι (histemi, meaning "to stand" or "to set up"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar concepts of rising up or rebelling includes קוּם (qum, Strong's H6965), which means "to arise" or "to stand up." Usage: The verb ἐπανίστημι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of rising up against someone or something, often in the context of rebellion or opposition. It conveys a sense of active resistance or confrontation. The term can be used both in a literal sense, such as physically standing up against an authority, and in a metaphorical sense, such as opposing an idea or belief. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of rising up against authority was a significant act, often associated with political or social rebellion. The term would have been understood in the context of both personal and collective acts of defiance. In Jewish culture, rebellion against God or His appointed leaders was seen as a serious offense, often leading to divine judgment.
