It implies a deliberate and organized stance against an entity or force. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe opposition to divine authority or to God's will.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "tassó" was often associated with military or civic order, where individuals or groups were arranged in a structured manner. The prefix "anti-" adds the notion of opposition, suggesting a counter-arrangement or resistance. This term would have resonated with early Christians who were familiar with the military and political structures of their time, emphasizing the seriousness of opposing divine order.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>498</b> <i>antitássomai</i> (from <a href="/greek/473.htm">473</a> <i>/antí</i>, "opposite to, against" and <a href="/greek/5021.htm">5021</a> <i>/tássō</i>, "<i>arrange</i>, order") – properly, "squared off" (opposite to); <i>opposed to in principle</i> and <i>in practice</i>.</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/498.htm">498</a> <i>/antitássomai</i> ("to resist") means to "<i>reject the entire make-up</i> of something," i.e. its <i>whole arrangement</i> – from its very "set up" (organization) to the final way it is "ordered."</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/498.htm">498</a> (<i>antitássomai</i>), a very old military term, was used for placing a soldier in a specific platoon (with a specific function) – i.e. in a definite order to attack or resist.</p><p class="discovery">Accordingly, <a href="/greek/498.htm">498</a> (<i>antitássomai</i>) is used in antiquity of <i>organized</i> resistance, like an army assuming a specific battle-array position to resist in "full alignment"; to disagree (oppose) <i>intensely</i>.]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/473.htm">anti</a> and <a href="/greek/5021.htm">tassó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to range in battle against, to set oneself against<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>opposed (2), resist (1), resisted (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 498: ἀντιτάσσω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀντιτάσσω</span></span> or <span class="greek2">ἀντιτάττω</span>: (present middle <span class="greek2">ἀντιτάσσομαι</span>); <span class="accented">to range in battle against</span>; middle <span class="accented">to oppose oneself, resist</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/13-2.htm">Romans 13:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/james/5-6.htm">James 5:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/5-5.htm">1 Peter 5:5</a>; cf. <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/3-34.htm">Proverbs 3:34</a>. absolutely, <a href="/interlinear/acts/18-6.htm">Acts 18:6</a>.
