The meaning of Maranatha in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)(I Corinthians 16:22) consists of two Aramean words, Maran'athah, meaning, "our Lord comes," or is "coming." If the latter interpretation is adopted, the meaning of the phrase is, "Our Lord is coming, and he will judge those who have set him at nought." (Compare Phil 4:5; James 5:8,9.)
