Strong's Lexicon apokathistémi: To restore, to reestablish, to return to a former state. Original Word: ἀποκαθιστάνω Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and καθίστημι (kathistémi, meaning "to set" or "to place"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7725 - שׁוּב (shub): Often translated as "return" or "restore," used in contexts of returning to God or restoring fortunes. - H7999 - שָׁלַם (shalam): Meaning "to make whole" or "to restore," often used in the context of making restitution or peace. Usage: The Greek verb ἀποκαθιστάνω (apokathistémi) primarily means to restore or return something to its original or intended state. It is used in the New Testament to describe both physical and spiritual restoration. This includes the healing of individuals, the restoration of sight, and the broader concept of restoring relationships or conditions to their rightful state. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of restoration was significant in various contexts, including legal, social, and religious spheres. Restoration could involve returning property, rights, or status to individuals or groups. In Jewish thought, restoration was often associated with the prophetic hope of Israel's return to a state of blessing and favor with God, as seen in the promises of the prophets regarding the coming Messiah and the restoration of the kingdom. HELPS Word-studies 600 apokathístēmi (from 570 /apistía, "separated from" and 2525 /kathístēmi, "have a definite standing") – properly, restore back to original standing, i.e. that existed before a fall; re-establish, returning back to the (ultimate) ideal; (figuratively) restore back to full freedom (the liberty of the original standing); to enjoy again, i.e. what was taken away by a destructive or life-dominating power. 600/apokathistēmi ("reestablish") emphasizes separation from the former, negative influence to enjoy what is forward (the restoration).
