Before it was a church word, it was a herald's cry β and its arrival always changed what came after.
euangelion Β· G2098 Β· GREEK
The Greek word euangelion (Ξ΅α½Ξ±Ξ³Ξ³Ξλιον) describes news that is proclaimed with joy like a herald's cry, powerful enough to change the status of everyone who hears it, and rooted in a king's victory β not our own achievement. Before it ever appeared in the New Testament, Roman emperors used it when a prince was born or a battle was won.
