Strong's Lexicon polemeó: To wage war, to fight, to engage in battle Original Word: πολεμέω Word Origin: From the Greek noun πόλεμος (polemos), meaning "war" or "battle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4421 (milchamah): War, battle - H3898 (lacham): To fight, to do battle Usage: The verb "polemeó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of waging war or engaging in conflict. It conveys the idea of active participation in warfare, whether physical or spiritual. The term can be applied to literal battles between nations or metaphorically to spiritual struggles and conflicts. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, warfare was a common aspect of life, with city-states and empires frequently engaging in battles for territory, power, and influence. The concept of war was well understood by the original audience of the New Testament, and the metaphor of spiritual warfare would have resonated deeply with them. The New Testament often uses military imagery to describe the Christian life, emphasizing the struggle against spiritual forces of evil.
