It carries the connotation of making a declaration or heralding a message that is intended to prepare or inform an audience about future events or truths. This term is often associated with the role of a herald or messenger who is tasked with delivering important news or proclamations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, heralds played a crucial role in communication. They were responsible for making public announcements, often on behalf of a king or government. This concept of heralding was familiar to early Christians, who saw themselves as proclaimers of the Gospel, announcing the coming of the Kingdom of God and the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. The use of προκηρύσσω in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of public proclamation and the importance of preparing people for significant events or truths.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a> and <a href="/greek/2784.htm">kérussó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to proclaim (by herald)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>proclaimed (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4296: προκηρύσσω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προκηρύσσω</span></span>: 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">προκηρυξας</span>; perfect passive participle <span class="greek2">προκεκηρυγμενος</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to announce or proclaim by herald beforehand</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, resp.
