29Reconcile
katallasso — Greek
katallasso (G2644) — to reconcile, to change from enmity to accord; to settle a relationship.
A settlement term — the restoring of estranged parties to accord, the account cleared.
A breach between parties must be settled, and reconciliation is the settling — the enmity removed, the account brought to zero, the relationship restored. It assumes a real dispute at law. Reconciled to Yahuah means the standing hostility is ended and the parties brought back into accord. It is a change of legal standing, not a mood: the case between them closed, peace on the record.
Romans 5:10 “We were reconciled to Yahuah by the death of his Son.” The breach settled.
2 Corinthians 5:19 “Yahuah was in Messiah, reconciling the world unto himself.” The parties brought to accord.
2 Corinthians 5:18 “Hath reconciled us to himself... and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.” The settled relationship and its proclamation.
Colossians 1:20 “Having made peace through the blood of his cross.” Peace restored by the price.
To reconcile is to bring estranged parties back into accord — the enmity removed, the account cleared, the relationship restored. It assumes a real breach, parties at law. ‘Reconciled to Yahuah’ means the hostility is ended and the two brought back together, on the record. It is a change of standing, not a feeling.
When two parties are at law, reconciliation is the settlement — the dispute resolved, the account zeroed, the enmity ended, and the relationship restored. That is what ‘reconciled to Yahuah’ means: not a softened mood, but a real breach formally closed, peace made through the price paid.
- Yahuah (the offended party, the Judge) who reconciles the world to Himself.
- Yahushua (the means) by whose death the breach is settled.
- The estranged (the parties) brought back into accord, the account cleared.
