Strong's Lexicon ouranios: Heavenly Original Word: οὐράνιος Word Origin: Derived from οὐρανός (ouranos), meaning "heaven" or "sky." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament is שָׁמַיִם (shamayim), which also means "heaven" or "sky." Usage: The term "ouranios" is used in the New Testament to describe that which pertains to heaven or is of heavenly origin. It often contrasts with earthly or worldly things, emphasizing the divine, eternal, and spiritual nature of what is described. It can refer to heavenly bodies, spiritual blessings, or the heavenly realm itself. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of heaven was often associated with the divine realm, the abode of the gods, and the source of divine authority and power. In Jewish thought, heaven was seen as the dwelling place of God, the angels, and the ultimate destination for the righteous. The New Testament writers, drawing from these traditions, used "ouranios" to convey the idea of divine origin and authority, as well as the promise of eternal life with God.
