Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
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):

is translated "wind" in Jhn 3:8 (RV, marg., "the Spirit breatheth," the probable meaning); in Hbr 1:7 the RV has "winds" for AV, "spirits."
See SPIRIT.

Notes:

(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.
