Strong's Lexicon erémósis: Desolation, devastation Original Word: ἐρήμωσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐρημόω (erēmoō), meaning "to lay waste" or "to desolate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8074 (שָׁמֵם, shamem): To be desolate, appalled, stunned - H2717 (חָרֵב, chareb): To be dry, waste, desolate Usage: The term "erémósis" refers to a state of being desolate or laid waste. It is often used in a prophetic or apocalyptic context to describe the destruction or abandonment of a place, particularly as a result of divine judgment or human sinfulness. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of a place being left in ruins or uninhabited. Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical context, desolation often signifies divine judgment against nations or peoples who have turned away from God. The imagery of desolation is prevalent in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, where it serves as a warning of the consequences of disobedience to God's covenant. In the New Testament, the concept is carried forward, particularly in eschatological passages that speak of future judgment and the end times.
