Strong's Lexicon hetoimazó: To prepare, make ready Original Word: ἑτοιμάζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: hetoimazó Pronunciation: he-toy-MAD-zo Phonetic Spelling: (het-oy-mad'-zo) Definition: I make ready, prepare. Meaning: To prepare, make ready, or provide. The term often implies making necessary arrangements or provisions for a future event or purpose. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective ἕτοιμος (hetoimos), meaning "ready" or "prepared." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ἑτοιμάζω corresponds to several Hebrew terms that convey the idea of preparation or readiness, including: • H3559 כּוּן (kun): To establish, prepare, or make firm. • H6186 עָרַךְ (arak): To arrange, set in order, or prepare. • H3557 כּוּן (kun): To be firm, stable, or established, often used in the context of preparing or making ready. These Hebrew terms, like their Greek counterpart, emphasize the importance of preparation in both physical and spiritual contexts, reflecting a consistent biblical theme of readiness and provision. Usage: The verb ἑτοιμάζω is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often referring to physical or spiritual preparation. It appears in both literal and metaphorical senses, such as preparing a meal, making ready for a journey, or preparing one's heart for the Lord. Context: The verb ἑτοιμάζω is a significant term in the New Testament, reflecting the importance of preparation in the Christian life. It is used in a variety of contexts, emphasizing the necessity of readiness for both temporal and eternal matters. • Literal Preparation: In passages like Matthew 22:4, ἑτοιμάζω is used in the context of preparing a feast: "Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’" Here, the term underscores the thoroughness and completeness of the preparation. • Spiritual Preparation: The term is also used in a spiritual sense, as seen in John the Baptist's mission to "prepare the way for the Lord" (Matthew 3:3). This preparation involves repentance and spiritual readiness for the coming of Christ. • Eschatological Preparation: In eschatological contexts, ἑτοιμάζω is used to describe the preparation for the end times or the return of Christ. For instance, in Matthew 25:10, the wise virgins are prepared for the bridegroom's arrival, symbolizing the readiness required for the Kingdom of Heaven. • Divine Preparation: The term also highlights God's role in preparation, as seen in John 14:2-3, where Jesus promises to prepare a place for His followers: "In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" The concept of preparation is central to the Christian message, urging believers to live in a state of readiness for both daily life and the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.
