Strong's Lexicon antidiatithémi: To oppose, to set oneself against, to arrange in opposition. Original Word: ἀντιδιατίθημι Word Origin: From ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "opposite") and διατίθημι (diatithémi, meaning "to arrange" or "to dispose"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent conceptually might be found in terms like עָמַד (amad, meaning "to stand against" or "to oppose") or קָרָא (qara, meaning "to call out" or "to confront"). Usage: The verb ἀντιδιατίθημι is used to describe the act of setting oneself against something or someone, to oppose or resist. It conveys a sense of active opposition or resistance, often in a strategic or deliberate manner. This term is not frequently used in the New Testament, but it carries significant weight in the context of spiritual and moral opposition. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of opposition was often associated with military and political contexts, where strategies were devised to counteract or resist adversaries. The use of ἀντιδιατίθημι in the New Testament reflects a similar understanding of opposition, but it is often applied in a spiritual or moral sense, highlighting the conflict between divine principles and worldly or sinful influences.
