Strong's Lexicon kataklusmos: Flood, deluge Original Word: κατακλυσμός Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: kataklusmos Pronunciation: kat-ak-loos-MOS Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ak-looce-mos') Definition: a deluge, flood. Meaning: A deluge or flood, specifically referring to a great and overwhelming flood of water. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κατακλύζω (kataklyzō), meaning "to inundate" or "to flood." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek κατακλυσμός corresponds to the Hebrew term מַבּוּל (mabbul), Strong's Hebrew Number 3999, which is used in the Old Testament to describe the floodwaters in the Genesis account of Noah's flood. This Hebrew term is found in Genesis 6-9, where it describes the deluge that covered the earth as a result of God's judgment on human wickedness. Usage: The term κατακλυσμός is used in the New Testament to describe the great flood during the time of Noah, as recorded in the book of Genesis. It is a term that conveys the idea of a catastrophic and divine judgment through water. Context: The Greek term κατακλυσμός appears in the New Testament in the context of the narrative of Noah's flood, which is a pivotal event in biblical history. This term is used to emphasize the magnitude and severity of the flood as an act of divine judgment upon a sinful world. In the Berean Standard Bible, κατακλυσμός is found in the following passages: • Matthew 24:38-39 (BSB): "For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man." • Luke 17:27 (BSB): "People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all." • 2 Peter 2:5 (BSB): "He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight." In these passages, κατακλυσμός serves as a historical and eschatological warning, illustrating the suddenness and totality of divine judgment. The flood narrative underscores themes of righteousness, divine patience, and the ultimate accountability of humanity before God.
