προσδοκ-ία G4329
expectation, anticipation of future events, whether in hope or anxiety
A noun for looking ahead to what is coming. In Luke 21:26, it describes the fearful expectation of cosmic upheavals in the end times—hearts failing from dread of what is coming on the world. In Acts 12:11, Peter realizes he has been delivered from Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people (who anticipated his execution). Classical usage often leans toward anxious foreboding, and both NT passages involve negative anticipation.

1. sense 1 — The glosses ('expectation,' 'expectación,' 'attente') are semantically uniform. Luke 21:26 applies it to eschatological dread—people collapsing from anticipation of cosmic judgment. Acts 12:11 uses it for the crowd's expectation of Peter's execution, which God thwarts. Both passages involve waiting for something feared, though the outcomes differ: one is cosmic judgment, the other is miraculous rescue. 2×
