Strong's Lexicon esomai: will be, shall be Original Word: ἔσομαι Word Origin: Future tense of the verb εἰμί (eimi), meaning "to be." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "יהיה" (yihyeh), which also means "will be" or "shall be," reflecting future states or actions. Usage: The Greek verb "ἔσομαι" is the future tense of "to be," indicating a state of being or existence that will occur. It is used to express certainty about future events or conditions. In the New Testament, it often conveys promises, prophecies, or future realities, reflecting God's sovereign plan and the fulfillment of His word. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of future tense was crucial for expressing not only temporal sequences but also divine promises and prophetic declarations. The use of "ἔσομαι" in the New Testament aligns with Jewish eschatological expectations, where the future is seen as the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. This reflects a worldview where history is linear and purposeful, directed by God's will. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfut. of eimi, q.v.
