Reformation:
properly, "a making straight" (dia, "through," orthos, "straight;" cp. diorthoma in Act 24:2; see CORRECTION, No. 1), denotes a "reformation" or reforming, Hbr 9:10; the word has the meaning either
(a) of a right arrangement, right ordering, or, more usually,
(b) of restoration, amendment, bringing right again; what is here indicated is a time when the imperfect, the inadequate, would be superseded by a better order of things, and hence the meaning (a) seems to be the right one; it is thus to be distinguished from that of Act 24:2, mentioned above. The word is used in the papyri in the other sense of the rectification of things, whether by payments or manner of life.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
