Meaning Of Maranatha
n.
"Our Lord cometh;" -- an expression used by St. Paul at
the conclusion of his first Epistle to the Corinthians (xvi. 22). This
word has been used in anathematizing persons for great crimes; as much
as to say, "May the Lord come quickly to take vengeance of thy crimes."
See Anathema maranatha, under Anathema.
