Word of the Week
σεισμός (Greek, G4578)
Σεισμός (seismos) denotes physical upheaval and structural collapse, making it the interpretive anchor for understanding how geopolitical instability translates into the apocalyptic framework. When Christ pairs wars with earthquakes in Matthew 24:6–7, seismos captures both literal tectonic disruption and the metaphorical ‘shaking’ of nations and systems—a connection deepened when major power confrontation threatens global order.
