Berean Strong's Lexicon ho ón kai ho én kai ho erchomenos: "He who is, and who was, and who is to come" Original Word: ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος Word Origin: This phrase is a combination of the Greek definite article "ὁ" (ho) meaning "the," and the present participle "ὢν" (ón) meaning "being," the imperfect "ἦν" (én) meaning "was," and the present participle "ἐρχόμενος" (erchomenos) meaning "coming." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of God's eternal nature is reflected in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the name YHWH (יהוה), often associated with Strong's Hebrew entry H3068, which conveys the idea of eternal existence. Usage: This phrase is a title for God, emphasizing His eternal nature and sovereignty over time. It highlights God's existence in the past, present, and future, underscoring His unchanging and everlasting nature. This title is used to convey the idea of God's omnipresence and omnipotence, affirming that He transcends time and is actively involved in the unfolding of history. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Greco-Roman world, where many deities were worshipped, this phrase served to distinguish the God of Israel as the one true eternal God, unlike the temporal and often capricious gods of the surrounding cultures. The phrase echoes the divine name revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14, "I AM WHO I AM," which signifies God's self-existence and eternal presence.
