SCHOOL OF PROPHECY / MARCH 21 ZOOM MEETING / In many ways a vision ‘comes from the future’. As believers, we know that the giver of all vision is God. Without Him we are blind! Receiving a prophetic word from the Lord, or finding a relevant promise in the Bible that speaks to your situation, is the key to overcoming this perceived blindness.

Hi
I heard you speak at the last Thames Aglow, and you shared our of some of your word the meaning of ‘Build’ and how it is the same word as Prophesy. Could you please let me know the word you used to tie these words together! I can’t get it out of my head lol.

BUILD, BUILDER, BUILDING
A. Verbs.
1. oikodomeo (οἰκοδομέω, 3618), lit., “to build a house” (oikos, “a house,” domeo, “to build”), hence, to build anything, e.g., Matt. 7:24; Luke 4:29; 6:48, rv, “well builded” (last clause of verse); John 2:20; is frequently used figuratively, e.g., Acts 20:32 (some mss. have No. 3 here); Gal. 2:18; especially of edifying, Acts 9:31; Rom. 15:20; 1 Cor. 10:23; 14:4; 1 Thess. 5:11 (rv). In 1 Cor. 8:10 it is translated “emboldened” (marg., “builded up”). The participle with the article (equivalent to a noun) is rendered “builder,” Matt. 21:42; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet. 2:7. See edify, embolden.
2. anoikodomeo (ἀνοικοδομέω, 456) signifies “to build again” (ana, “again”), Acts 15:16.¶
3. epoikodomeo (ἐποικοδομέω, 2026) signifies “to build upon” (epi, “upon”), 1 Cor. 3:10, 12, 14; Eph. 2:20; Jude 20; or up, Acts 20:32; Col. 2:7.¶
4. sunoikodomeo (συνοικοδομέω, 4925), “to build together” (sun, “with”), is used in Eph. 2:22, metaphorically, of the church, as a spiritual dwelling-place for God.¶
5. kataskeuazo (κατασκευάζω, 2680), “to prepare, establish, furnish,” is rendered “builded” and “built” in Heb. 3:3–4. See make, ordain, prepare.
B. Nouns.
1. oikodome (οἰκοδομή, 3619), “a building, or edification” (see A, No. 1), is used (a) literally, e.g., Matt. 24:1; Mark 13:1–2; (b) figuratively, e.g., Rom. 14:19 (lit., “the things of building up”); 15:2 of a local church as a spiritual building, 1 Cor. 3:9, or the whole church, the body of Christ, Eph. 2:21. It expresses the strengthening effect of teaching, 1 Cor. 14:3, 5, 12, 26; 2 Cor. 10:8; 12:19; 13:10, or other ministry, Eph. 4:12, 16, 29 (the idea conveyed is progress resulting from patient effort). It is also used of the believer’s resurrection body, 2 Cor. 5:1. See edification, edify.¶
2. endomesis (ἐνδόμησις, 1739), “a thing built, structure” (en, “in,” domao, “to build”), is used of the wall of the heavenly city, Rev. 21:18 (some suggest that the word means “a fabric”; others, “a roofing or coping”; these interpretations are questionable; the probable significance is “a building”).¶
3. ktisis (κτίσις, 2937), “a creation,” is so translated in the rv of Heb. 9:11 (kjv “building,). See creation, B, No. 1, creature, ordinance.
4. technites (τεχνίτης, 5079), “an artificer, one who does a thing by rules of art,” is rendered “builder” in Heb. 11:10, marg., “architect,” which gives the necessary contrast between this and the next noun in the verse. See craftsman, No. 2.
