Strong's Lexicon stigmé: Moment, Point in Time Original Word: στιγμή Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: stigmé Pronunciation: stig-MAY Phonetic Spelling: (stig-may') Definition: a moment, point of time, an instant. Meaning: A point, a moment, an instant. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb στίζω (stízō), meaning "to prick" or "to mark." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "στιγμή" in the Old Testament, as the concept of an "instant" or "moment" is often expressed through different Hebrew terms depending on the context. However, the idea of a brief or sudden event can be found in various passages, such as those using the Hebrew word "רֶגַע" (rega, Strong's Hebrew 7281), which means "a moment" or "a short time." Usage: The term "στιγμή" is used in the New Testament to denote a very brief period of time, emphasizing the immediacy or suddenness of an event. Context: The Greek word "στιγμή" appears in the New Testament in the context of describing a very brief, almost imperceptible, period of time. It is used to convey the idea of something happening instantaneously or in the blink of an eye. This term is found in Luke 4:5, where it describes the rapidity with which the devil shows Jesus all the kingdoms of the world during His temptation in the wilderness. In Luke 4:5 (BSB), the passage reads: "Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world." Here, "στιγμή" underscores the supernatural speed and scope of the vision presented to Jesus, highlighting the devil's attempt to tempt Him with worldly power and glory. The use of "στιγμή" in this context serves to emphasize the fleeting nature of worldly temptations and the importance of spiritual vigilance. It reminds readers of the transient nature of earthly power compared to the eternal kingdom of God. The term also reflects the immediacy with which spiritual challenges can arise, calling for readiness and steadfastness in faith.
