Strong's Lexicon prosdokia: Expectation, anticipation Original Word: προσδοκία Word Origin: From the Greek verb προσδοκάω (prosdokao), meaning "to expect" or "to look for." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of expectation can be related to terms like תִּקְוָה (tiqvah, Strong's Hebrew 8615), meaning "hope" or "expectation." Usage: The term "prosdokia" refers to a state of expectation or anticipation, often with a sense of waiting for something to happen. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the anticipation of future events, whether with hope or anxiety. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of expectation was significant in both philosophical and everyday contexts. People often lived with expectations regarding the favor of the gods, the outcomes of political events, or personal fortunes. In the Jewish context, expectation was deeply tied to the hope for the coming Messiah and the fulfillment of God's promises.
