◄ 4300. prokuroó ►
Strong's Lexicon prokuroó: To ratify beforehand, to preordain, to confirm in advance. Original Word: προκυρόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: prokuroó Pronunciation: pro-koo-ROH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (prok-oo-ro'-o) Definition: To ratify beforehand, to preordain, to confirm in advance. Meaning: I establish or ratify before. Word Origin: From the prefix "προ-" (pro-, meaning "before" or "in advance") and "κυρόω" (kuroó, meaning "to confirm" or "to ratify"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew concept of God's preordained plans can be seen in words like "יָעַד" (ya'ad, Strong's H3259), meaning "to appoint" or "to designate," and "קָדַם" (qadam, Strong's H6923), meaning "to precede" or "to anticipate." Usage: The verb "prokuroó" is used to describe the act of confirming or ratifying something in advance. It implies a decision or decree that is established before the event or action takes place. In a biblical context, it often relates to God's sovereign will and the preordained plans He has set forth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of ratifying or confirming decisions was significant in legal and governmental contexts. Decisions made by councils or leaders were often ratified to ensure their legitimacy and authority. In the biblical context, this term underscores the belief in God's foreknowledge and sovereign plan, which is a central theme in both Jewish and Christian theology.
