It is used to describe situations where there is a collective movement or disturbance, typically with a negative implication of disorder or rebellion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, public assemblies and gatherings were common, often for political, social, or religious purposes. However, such gatherings could quickly turn into uprisings or riots, especially in times of political unrest or social tension. The term "episustasis" captures the essence of these potentially volatile assemblies, reflecting the societal dynamics of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and <a href="/greek/4921.htm">sunistémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>variant reading for NG1988a, q.v.<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 1999: ἐπισύστασις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπισύστασις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐπισυστασεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἐπισυνισταμαι</span> to collect together, conspire against) <span class="accented">a gathering together or combining against or at</span>.
