what is maranatha - its meaning?

Question

will appreciate an answer in the biblical/religious context

Answer 1

Only occurs in I Corinthians 16:22. It is an Aramaic phrase used by Paul in the close of his letter to the Corinthians which means " the Lord cometh"

Answer 2

Maranatha is an Aramaic (Syriac) phrase occurring once only in the New Testament. It is transliterated into Greek letters rather than translated, and is found at the end of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians (I Cor 16:22) as a farewell. It means "the Lord has come", or "the Lord will come", or more likely "Come, Lord!" There is a strong similarity here to the final words of the Book of Revelation: "Amen; come, Lord Jesus" (Rev 22:20) which may very likely have also originally been in Aramaic.

Answer 3

The Lord is coming or returning.

It's a Greek word, I'll check. Sorry of Chaldee origin.

1Co 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

G3134
μαρὰν ἀθά

Of Chaldee origin (meaning our Lord has come); maranatha, that is, an exclamation of the approaching divine judgment: - Maran-atha.

G331

an-ath'-em-ah
From G394; a (religious) ban or (concretely) excommunicated (thing or person): - accursed, anathema, curse, X great.

Answer 4

Maranatha ! - (Lord Come Quickly)

Answer 5

( 1 Cor 16:22 ) consists of two Aramean words, Maran'athah, meaning , "our Lord comes", or is "coming." If the latter interpretation is adopted, the meaning of the phrase is, "Our Lord is coming, and he will judge those who have set him at nought." (Comp. Phil 4:5; James 5:8,9.)

Answer 6

Come (back to earth) quickly Lord Jesus!

Answer 7

it means, "Lord, come quickly"

Be Blessed.
