kataloipos: Remaining, left, rest

Original Word: καταλοῖπος
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: kataloipos
Pronunciation: kat-al'-oy-pos
Phonetic Spelling: (kat-al'-oy-pos)
Definition: Remaining, left, rest
Meaning: left behind; the rest, the remainder.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "kata-" meaning "down" or "according to," and "loipos," meaning "remaining" or "left."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a remnant is שְׁאָר (she'ar, Strong's H7611), which similarly refers to what is left or remains.

Usage: The term "kataloipos" is used to describe something that remains or is left over. It often refers to a remnant or what is left after a larger portion has been removed or destroyed. In a biblical context, it can denote the faithful remnant of God's people who remain true to Him despite widespread apostasy or judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, the concept of a remnant was significant, especially in the context of Israel's history. The idea of a faithful remnant is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, where God preserves a group of people who remain faithful to Him despite the nation's overall disobedience. This concept carried into the New Testament, where the early Christian community saw themselves as the faithful remnant of Israel, continuing God's covenant promises.
