It conveys the idea of drawing someone to safety, often implying a divine intervention or a powerful act of salvation. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe God's deliverance of His people from sin, evil, or peril. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of deliverance was often associated with gods or heroes rescuing individuals from physical danger or enemies. In the Jewish context, deliverance was a central theme, with God frequently portrayed as the Deliverer of Israel from bondage and oppression. This cultural backdrop enriches the New Testament usage of "rhuomai," emphasizing God's active role in the salvation and protection of His people.
