Berean Strong's Lexicon proereó: To say beforehand, to foretell, to declare in advance. Original Word: προερέω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "προ-" (pro-, meaning "before" or "in advance") and "ερέω" (ereo, meaning "to say" or "to speak"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves words like "נבא" (naba, meaning "to prophesy") or "אמר" (amar, meaning "to say" or "to speak"), which are used in the context of divine revelation or prophecy. Usage: The verb "proereó" is used to indicate the act of speaking or declaring something before it happens. It often carries the connotation of foretelling or predicting future events. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts where a prior declaration or prophecy is being referenced or fulfilled. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, prophecy and foretelling were significant aspects of religious and cultural life. Oracles and prophets were revered for their ability to predict future events. In the Jewish tradition, prophecy was a key element of the faith, with prophets serving as God's mouthpieces to His people. The use of "proereó" in the New Testament aligns with this tradition, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises and prophecies through Jesus Christ and the apostles.
