Strong's Lexicon helissó: To roll up, to coil, to wrap Original Word: ἑλίσσω Word Origin: From a primary root (to twist or roll) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of rolling or coiling can be related to the Hebrew word גָּלַל (galal - Strong's H1556), which means to roll or roll away. Usage: The verb "helissó" is used to describe the action of rolling or coiling something, often in the context of wrapping or folding. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the heavens being rolled up like a scroll. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of rolling or coiling was often associated with scrolls, which were the primary medium for written texts. Scrolls were made of papyrus or parchment and were rolled up for storage and protection. The imagery of rolling up the heavens like a scroll would have been a powerful metaphor for the audience, symbolizing the end of the current order and the ushering in of a new era.
