Chapter 1
Anagkazo, Biazo and Anaideia
...Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [anagkazo] them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Luke 14:23
What Is Anagkazo?
Anagkazo simply means to compel
. It also means to necessitate, to drive, and to constrain by all means such as force, threats, persuasion and entreaties.
Sometimes we need to go back to the Greek in order to understand the original meanings of some Bible words. You see, the New Testament was translated from the Greek language and the Old Testament from the Hebrew language. Anagkazo is the Greek word that is translated to compel
.
There is another closely related Greek word, "Biazo".
What Is Biazo?
Biazo is a Greek word found in Matthew 11 that means "to use force or
to force one’s way into a thing". This is a quality I find lacking in Christian circles. We are forceful about everything else, except God’s work. We are forceful about our jobs, our girlfriends, our marriages and our future. But when it comes to God’s work we become like timid mice!
When I see commercials on television, I realize that there are groups of people who are very confident about what they have to offer. They are so confident that they boldly sing catchy songs about how good their product is.
Alcohol advertisers are some of the best in the business. We all know that beer and liquor are killers
