The combination suggests a sense of directness or straightforwardness.<p><span class="tophdg">Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: </span>While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "antikrus," the concept of directness or opposition can be found in Hebrew words like נֶגֶד (neged, Strong's H5048), which means "in front of" or "opposite."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The adverb "antikrus" is used to convey the idea of something being directly or straightforwardly in front of or opposite something else. It implies a sense of immediacy or direct confrontation. In the context of biblical usage, it often denotes a clear and unambiguous position or action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of directness was valued in both rhetoric and action. The use of "antikrus" would have resonated with an audience that appreciated clarity and straightforwardness, whether in speech, navigation, or moral decisions. The term reflects a worldview that values direct confrontation and clear distinctions between opposing forces or ideas.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/473.htm">anti</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>over against<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>opposite (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 481: ἀντικρύ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀντικρύ</span></span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἄντικρυς</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Chandler</span> § 881; <span class="manuref">Treg.</span> <span class="greek2">ἄντικρυς</span>.
