What a beautiful Greek word.

While reading, I was thinking about how just like there was a first Adam and a last Adam so there was also a first Life/zoway and last Life/zoway.

I'll admit, that's an angle I hadn't considered. Great insight!

Nice analysis. I love the zoe analysis.

My belief is that before she is type of Mary, she is type of the Son.

She is the consubstantial one (etzem of my etzem where etzem conveys substance see etzem of heaven) who is facing (see kenedgo and compare with pros in John 1) the arche.

Compare Adam’s ecstatic this is my, to the Father’s ecstatic You are my, in Luke 3.

So she is zoe, imaging the Son in whom zoe is.
