Strong's Lexicon endémeó: To be at home, to dwell, to be present Original Word: ἐνδημέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: endémeó Pronunciation: en-deh-MEH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (en-day-meh'-o) Definition: I am at home, live in a place. Meaning: To be at home, to dwell in one's own country or among one's own people; metaphorically, to be present or to be in one's own body. Word Origin: From the combination of ἐν (en, "in") and δῆμος (dēmos, "people" or "home"), suggesting the idea of being among one's own people or at home. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνδημέω, the concept of dwelling or being at home can be related to Hebrew terms such as יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's 3427), which means "to sit, dwell, or inhabit," and שָׁכַן (shakan, Strong's 7931), meaning "to dwell or abide." These terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe God's presence among His people or the Israelites' dwelling in the Promised Land. Usage: The term ἐνδημέω is used in the New Testament to describe the state of being at home or present, particularly in a spiritual or metaphorical sense. It appears in contexts discussing the believer's relationship with the earthly body and the heavenly home. Context: The Greek verb ἐνδημέω appears in the New Testament primarily in the writings of the Apostle Paul. It is used to convey the concept of being at home or present, often in contrast to being away or absent. In 2 Corinthians 5:6-9, Paul uses ἐνδημέω to describe the believer's dual existence: being at home in the body versus being at home with the Lord. This passage highlights the tension between the earthly life and the anticipated heavenly existence. Paul expresses a preference for being "away from the body and at home with the Lord," indicating a desire for the eternal dwelling with God. The term underscores the transient nature of earthly life and the believer's ultimate hope of eternal communion with God. In Philippians 1:23-24, Paul again reflects on this theme, expressing a desire to depart and be with Christ, which he considers "far better," yet acknowledging the necessity of remaining in the flesh for the sake of the Philippians. Here, ἐνδημέω captures the essence of Christian hope and the assurance of a future home with the Lord, providing comfort and motivation for faithful living in the present.
