Interesting.......
There are numerous forms of the root word
G2945
2945. kukloi koo'-klo as if dative case of kuklos (a ring, "cycle"; akin to 2947); i.e. in a circle (by implication, of 1722), i.e. (adverbially) all around:--round about.
========================
2944. kukloo koo-klo'-o from the same as 2945; to encircle, i.e. surround:--compass (about), come (stand) round about.
G2944 κυκλόω (
kykloō) occurs 7 times in in 5 verses
Luke 21:20
Whenever yet may be seeing the Jerusalem
surrounded<2944> by war-troops,
then be knowing that come nigh desolating/ἐρήμωσις<2050> of Her
Now this is interesting. It used in 1 verse of Revelation.........Since it is used in 70AD Luke and the Jewish Wars, perhaps, however farfetched, this could be the
1st century Jewish Rebels, not a Gentle army. Just now thought of that.
Will have to look at this closer also......A lot of Hebrew Jewish symbology.........
Revelation 20:9
They went up on the breadth of the earth and
surrounded<2944>the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
============================================
Used on in this 1 verse
4033. peri kukloo per-ee-koo-klo'-o from 4012 and 2944; to encircle all around, i.e. blockade completely:--compass round.
Luke 19:43 That shall be arriving days upon Thee, and thy enemies shall be casting up
a siege-work/circumvallation<5482 to Thee,
and shall be encompassing<4033> thee, and pressing thee every which place.
