Usage: The verb "hetoimazó" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of preparing or making ready. It often implies a sense of anticipation or readiness for a future event or purpose. This preparation can be physical, spiritual, or metaphorical, depending on the context.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, preparation was a significant aspect of daily life, whether for travel, feasts, or religious ceremonies.

In the New Testament, this term often carries eschatological significance, pointing to the preparation for the coming of the Lord or the Kingdom of God.
