Astonish – To fill with sudden and overpowering surprise or wonder; Amaze.
God used this word in its various forms 55 times in Scripture: 35 times to Israel in their Masoretic Text Old Testament; 16 times to Israel in their Koine Greek Old Testament (Matthew thru John); 3 times to Israel in the transition book of Acts; and once to the Body of Christ in the transition book of Acts.
In Israel’s Masoretic Text Old Testament, astonishment often resulted in fear. In Israel’s Koine Greek Old Testament astonishment often resulted in surprise and wonder.
The definition of astonied is distinctly different than astonish.
