1 | Strong's Number: g417 | Greek: anemos |
Wind (Noun):
besides its literal meaning, is used metaphorically in Eph 4:14, of variable teaching. In Mat 24:31; Mar 13:27 the four "winds" stand for the four cardinal points of the compass; so in Rev 7:1, "the four winds of the earth" (cp. Jer 49:36; Dan 7:2); the contexts indicate that these are connected with the execution of Divine judgments. Deissmann (Bible Studies) and Moulton and Milligan (Vocab.) illustrate the phrase from the papyri.
2 | Strong's Number: g4157 | Greek: pnoe |
Wind (Noun):
"a blowing, blast" (akin to pneo, "to blow"), is used of the rushing "wind" at Pentecost, Act 2:2.
See BREATH.
3 | Strong's Number: g4151 | Greek: pneuma |
Wind (Noun):

See SPIRIT.

(1) For pneo, "to blow" ("wind" in Act 27:40), see BLOW, No. 1.
(2) For anemizo, Jam 1:6, "driven by the wind," see DRIVE, No. 8.
