Usage: The Greek verb "hékó" primarily means "to have come" or "to be present." It is used in the New Testament to denote the arrival or presence of a person or event. The term often conveys the idea of reaching a destination or being in a particular place at a specific time. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "hékó" is used to describe both physical and metaphorical arrivals. The concept of arrival was significant in the ancient world, where travel was arduous and time-consuming. The presence of a person, especially a figure of authority or divinity, was often seen as an event of great importance. In the Greco-Roman world, the arrival of a dignitary or a deity was celebrated with ceremonies and public gatherings.
