Definition: Antevenient is a Greek term meaning "before any one" in Latin, referring to actions that occur prior to anything else. It signifies the context or order of events before the immediate act of speaking or doing something. In biblical terms, it could be used to describe a command given at a time when a person was not yet ready or known by someone else. Definition: Antevenient refers to an action being done before another event, such as praying for the presence of God or a specific divine act. For example: 1. "Jesus said, 'Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives, but as the world gave me [John 14:27].'" (Mark 14:35) 2. "He told him, 'Before this, you had not known God, nor his Son Jesus Christ.' And when he saw how much they had done, he said, 'They have not known God or his Son; for to them it seemed to be the world." (John 14:6-7) 3. "He said to him, 'Before this, you had not known God, nor your faith in God. And after this, you will know that I am he who sent me.'" (Mark 14:59-60)
