From epiphanes; a manifestation, i.e. (specially) the advent of Christ (past or future) -- appearing, brightness. see GREEK epiphanes HELPS Word-studies 2015 epipháneia (from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting," which intensifies 5316 /phaínō, "show forth, appear") – properly, a fitting manifestation (literally, "an epiphany"). [2015 (epipháneia) is the root of the English term, "epiphany."] 2015 (epipháneia) literally suggests an appearing that builds on (Gk epi) on the characteristics of a particular situation. Accordingly, 2015 /epipháneia ("conspicuous appearing") emphasizes the fitting impact Christ's visible appearance will have on the entire world – i.e. all who see it (saved and unsaved). In the NT, 2015 (epipháneia) occurs six times – always used of Christ's coming (once of His first coming, 2 Tim 1:10).

Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐπιφαίνω (epiphainō), meaning "to appear" or "to show forth."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπιφάνεια, the concept of divine appearing or manifestation can be related to Hebrew terms such as רָאָה (ra'ah, Strong's H7200), meaning "to see" or "to appear," and גָּלָה (galah, Strong's H1540), meaning "to reveal" or "to uncover." These terms capture the essence of divine revelation and appearance found in the Old Testament. Usage: In the New Testament, ἐπιφάνεια is used to describe the appearing of Jesus Christ, both in His first coming and His anticipated return. It emphasizes the visible and glorious nature of these events. Context: The Greek term ἐπιφάνεια (epiphaneia) is a significant theological concept in the New Testament, appearing in key passages that highlight the manifestation of Jesus Christ. It is used five times in the New Testament, specifically in the Pauline epistles and the Pastoral Epistles.
