Strong's Lexicon aphixis: Arrival Original Word: ἀφίξις Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: aphixis Pronunciation: a-FIK-sis Phonetic Spelling: (af'-ix-is) Definition: Arrival Meaning: arrival, departure. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀφικνέομαι (aphikneomai), meaning "to arrive" or "to come to." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "aphixis," the concept of arrival can be related to Hebrew terms like בּוֹא (bo), meaning "to come" or "to enter," which is used frequently in the Old Testament to describe the arrival of people or events. Usage: The term "aphixis" refers to the act of arriving or coming to a particular place. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the arrival of individuals or events, often with a sense of anticipation or fulfillment of a journey or mission. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, travel and the concept of arrival were significant due to the extensive network of roads and sea routes that facilitated movement across the empire. The idea of arrival carried connotations of completion, fulfillment, and the beginning of new opportunities or challenges. In the biblical context, arrival often signifies the fulfillment of divine promises or the coming of significant figures, such as apostles or messengers of the Gospel.
