Strong's Lexicon hupomnésis: Reminder, remembrance Original Word: ὑπόμνησις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὑπομιμνῄσκω (hupomimnēskō), meaning "to remind" or "to call to mind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of remembrance in Hebrew is often linked to the word זָכַר (zakar), which means "to remember" or "to recall." Usage: The term "hupomnésis" refers to the act of reminding or bringing something to one's memory. It is used in the New Testament to denote a reminder or a call to remember certain truths or teachings. This concept is often associated with the role of the Holy Spirit in bringing to remembrance the teachings of Jesus and the importance of recalling God's word and promises. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, memory and reminders were crucial for oral traditions and teachings. Written texts were not as accessible as they are today, so oral repetition and reminders were essential for preserving teachings and traditions. In the Jewish context, remembrance was a key aspect of faith, as seen in the frequent calls to remember God's acts and commandments throughout the Old Testament.
