Berean Strong's Lexicon diopetés: Fallen from heaven Original Word: διοπετής Word Origin: From the Greek words "διο-" (dio, meaning "from Zeus" or "from heaven") and "πίπτω" (pipto, meaning "to fall"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diopetés," as it is a concept more prevalent in Greek and Roman thought. However, the idea of objects or messages from heaven can be loosely related to Hebrew concepts of divine revelation or heavenly signs. Usage: The term "diopetés" is used to describe something that is believed to have fallen from the sky, often with divine or celestial connotations. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to refer to objects that are considered to have a heavenly origin, often associated with divine intervention or approval. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, objects that were believed to have fallen from the sky, such as meteorites or unusual stones, were often revered as sacred. These objects were sometimes associated with the gods and were thought to possess special powers or significance. The belief in heavenly objects was common in the ancient world and often intertwined with religious practices and the worship of deities.
