It conveys a sense of being struck with fear, often in response to a sudden or overwhelming event. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the reaction of individuals who encounter divine or supernatural occurrences, leading to a profound sense of awe and fear.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, fear was often associated with the divine or the unknown. Encounters with the divine, whether through visions, angelic appearances, or miraculous events, were typically met with fear and reverence. This cultural context helps to explain why biblical characters often respond with fear when confronted with the presence or actions of God or His messengers.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1719</b> <i>émphobos</i> (from 1722, "<i>in</i>" and <a href="/greek/5401.htm">5401</a> <i>/phóbos</i>, "fear") – properly, locked <i>in</i> a <i>state</i> of fear, i.e. in<i> the grip</i> of a <i>fearful state of mind</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/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/5401.htm">phobos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>terrible, in fear (used of godly fear)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>frightened (2), much alarmed (1), terrified (2).<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 1719: ἔμφοβος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔμφοβος</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3), <span class="greek2">ἐμφοβον</span>,(<span class="greek2">φόβος</span>), <span class="accented">thrown into fear, terrified, affrighted</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-5.htm">Luke 24:5</a>,(37); <a href="/interlinear/acts/10-4.htm">Acts 10:4</a>; (<a href="/interlinear/acts/22-9.htm">Acts 22:9</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Acts 24:25>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/11-13.htm">Revelation 11:13</a>. <span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, char. 25 (24), 1; (1 Macc. 13:2; in a good sense, Sir. 19:24 (21)).
