Usage: The term "kataggeleus" refers to someone who proclaims or announces a message, often with authority or as a herald. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who declare the message of the Gospel or important truths about God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, a herald (kataggeleus) was an important figure who communicated messages from rulers or authorities to the public. This role was crucial in a time when written communication was limited, and oral proclamation was the primary means of disseminating information. In the New Testament, the concept of a herald is applied to those who spread the message of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of vocal proclamation in the early Christian mission.
