It is used to describe something that provides a clear and undeniable confirmation of a fact or truth. In the context of the New Testament, it is often associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, serving as a compelling evidence of His victory over death.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, "tekmérion" was used in legal and philosophical contexts to denote irrefutable evidence or a conclusive argument. It was a term that conveyed certainty and was employed to establish truth in debates and legal proceedings. In the New Testament, this concept is applied to the resurrection of Christ, which serves as the ultimate proof of His divine nature and the truth of the Gospel message.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5039</b> <i>tekmḗrion</i> – properly, a marker (sign-post) supplying <i>indisputable</i> information, "marking something off" as unmistakable (irrefutable).
