Strong's Lexicon makrochronios: Long-lived, enduring Original Word: μακροχρόνιος Word Origin: From the Greek words μακρός (makros), meaning "long," and χρόνος (chronos), meaning "time." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of endurance or long-lasting is אֹרֶךְ (orek), meaning "length" or "long," as seen in passages like Psalm 23:6, which speaks of dwelling in the house of the Lord forever. Usage: The term μακροχρόνιος is used to describe something that is enduring or long-lasting. In a biblical context, it often refers to the enduring nature of God's promises or the longevity of certain principles or truths. It emphasizes the aspect of time in relation to endurance and persistence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, longevity was often associated with wisdom and divine favor. The concept of enduring or long-lasting qualities was highly valued, especially in the context of covenants, promises, and the steadfastness of divine principles. The Greek understanding of time (chronos) was linear, and something that was μακροχρόνιος was seen as having a lasting impact over this linear progression.
