73b

Dying Away From the Whole

Strongs NT 599: ἀποθνῄσκω, apothnéskó. To die away from.

Dying away or off from what? The Whole. As many as are ready to throw in the towel on "Faith" or "God", they are brought to the end of themselves in the House of Misery. They searched and found not. And the more they searched, the further down into the Abyss they went, sick, weak, and  infirm. 

• "ἀπο-" (apo-): This prefix often denotes separation, cessation, or removal. It can be translated as "away" or "from."
• "θνῄσκω" (thnēskō): This root verb means "to die" or "to perish."

Putting it together: "ἀποθνῄσκω" (apothnēskō) can be understood as "to die away" or "to perish from" in English, where the prefix "ἀπο-" (apo-) indicates a sense of separation or departure, and "θνῄσκω" (thnēskō) means "to die."
