Definition: The term 'Antiphates' comes from Greek and means "to make war without purpose." In the Bible, it refers to an aggressive act intended for a specific reason or purpose beyond its original context, as in Acts 6:9-10: "But he said to them, 'Make your stand where you are; let no one see that you have taken this place.'" In Hebrews 2:17, the phrase "Antiphates" is used metaphorically. In other contexts, it may refer to an action or a purpose in which a person's intent goes beyond the act itself and is not purely motivated by the intended outcome.
