Maranatha

WHAT DOES "MARANATHA" MEAN?"

Maranatha" itself is an ancient Hebrew-Aramaic word that meant alternatively, "the Lord is coming soon," or "Oh, Lord, Come Soon." It was part of the Jewish congregational prayers in the first century. It occurs in the New Testament in 1 Cor. 16:22 (the Aramaic word is transliterated into Greek letters in the text). The word came into English as a transliteration as well, along with a few other Hebrew words ("Hallelujah" and "Hosanna" are other common examples).
