Topical Lexicon

Word Origin:Diminutive form of ἀρήν (arēn), meaning "lamb."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:•H3532 כֶּבֶשׂ (keves): A young ram or lamb, often used in the context of sacrificial offerings.
•H7716 שֶׂה (seh): A general term for a sheep or goat, frequently used in sacrificial contexts.
•H2924 טָלֶה (taleh): A lamb, emphasizing youth and innocence, used in various sacrificial and pastoral contexts.

These Hebrew terms collectively contribute to the rich tapestry of sacrificial imagery that finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Testament depiction of Jesus as the ἀρνίον, the Lamb of God.

Usage:The term ἀρνίον is used primarily in the New Testament, particularly in the book of Revelation, to symbolize Jesus Christ in His role as the sacrificial Lamb who redeems humanity.

Context:The Greek word ἀρνίον appears prominently in the New Testament, especially in the apocalyptic literature of the book of Revelation. It is a diminutive form of the word for lamb, emphasizing the innocence and gentleness of the creature. In a theological context, ἀρνίον is used to depict Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, a central theme in Christian soteriology.

In Revelation, ἀρνίον is used to describe Christ in His exalted and victorious state, having triumphed over sin and death through His sacrificial death and resurrection. For instance,Revelation 5:6 states, "Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders." This imagery conveys the paradox of Christ's power through apparent weakness and His victory through sacrifice.

The use of ἀρνίον in Revelation underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament sacrificial imagery, where lambs were offered as atonement for sin. In the New Testament, Jesus is identified as the ultimate Passover Lamb, whose blood brings redemption and reconciliation with God. This is further illustrated inRevelation 7:17, "For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. 'He will lead them to springs of living water,' and 'God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'"

The consistent use of ἀρνίον in Revelation highlights the eschatological hope and assurance of salvation for believers, portraying Christ as both the sacrificial victim and the triumphant King.
