Word of the Week
πόλεμος (Greek, G4171)
πόλεμος (polemos) denotes warfare and armed conflict as a structured phenomenon, not mere violence. This term anchors Jesus’s warning in Matthew 24:6 about “wars and rumors of wars” as signs preceding the end age—distinguishing geopolitical conflict from random incidents. When evaluating reports concerning Damascus against Isaiah 17:1’s prophecy of its desolation, polemos frames the interpretive context: we observe whether events align with prophetic patterns of regional warfare rather than isolated explosions, grounding prophecy study in the biblical vocabulary of organized hostility.
