Meaning: Pertaining to demons; demonic. Word Origin: Derived from δαιμόνιον (daimonion), meaning "demon" or "evil spirit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δαιμονιώδης, the concept of demonic influence can be related to several Hebrew terms associated with evil spirits or idols, such as: - שֵׁד (shed) • Strong's Hebrew 7700: Often translated as "demon" or "idol," referring to false gods or spirits. - רוּחַ (ruach) • Strong's Hebrew 7307: Meaning "spirit," which can refer to both good and evil spirits depending on the context. These Hebrew terms reflect the broader biblical understanding of spiritual forces that oppose God and His people, aligning with the New Testament depiction of demonic influences. Usage: The term δαιμονιώδης is used in the New Testament to describe something that is characteristic of or influenced by demons. It conveys the idea of being demonic in nature or origin. Context: The Greek term δαιμονιώδης appears in the New Testament to describe phenomena or behaviors that are influenced by demonic forces. This word is used to highlight the spiritual battle between good and evil, emphasizing the presence and influence of demonic entities in the world. In the New Testament, δαιμονιώδης is used in James 3:15, where it describes wisdom that is not from above but is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. The passage contrasts godly wisdom, which is pure and peace-loving, with wisdom that is characterized by envy and selfish ambition, leading to disorder and every evil practice. The use of δαιμονιώδης in this context underscores the corrupting influence of demonic forces on human behavior and thought processes. The concept of demonic influence is a recurring theme in the New Testament, where Jesus and His disciples frequently encounter and cast out demons. The presence of δαιμονιώδης elements in the world serves as a reminder of the spiritual warfare that believers are engaged in, calling them to seek wisdom and strength from God to resist such influences.
