It implies a heightened state of vigilance and readiness, often used in a metaphorical sense to describe spiritual alertness or moral vigilance. This term emphasizes the importance of being watchful and prepared, particularly in the context of spiritual matters.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of watchfulness was significant, especially in military and religious contexts. Soldiers were expected to be vigilant to protect against surprise attacks, and religious adherents were encouraged to be spiritually alert to avoid moral failings. In the New Testament, this term is often used to encourage believers to remain spiritually vigilant in anticipation of Christ's return.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1235</b> <i>diagrēgoréō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">1223</a> <i>/diá</i>, "thoroughly" which intensifies <a href="/greek/1127.htm">1127</a> <i>/grēgoreúō</i>, "awaken") – properly, <i>thoroughly</i>, <i>fully</i> (<i>totally</i>) awakened (note the force of the prefix, <i>dia</i>) and used only in Lk 9:32.
