Context: The Greek word "νότος" (notos) is used in the New Testament to denote the south or the south wind. This term is often associated with warmth and is indicative of the Mediterranean climate, where the south wind would bring heat. In biblical times, understanding the direction of the wind was crucial for navigation and agriculture. The south wind, in particular, was known for its ability to bring rain or heat, affecting daily life and travel. In the New Testament, "νότος" is mentioned in passages that describe geographical directions or weather conditions. For example, in Luke 12:55 (BSB), Jesus refers to the south wind as a sign of impending heat: "And when a south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it happens." This illustrates the common knowledge and expectation associated with the south wind during that period. The use of "νότος" in the New Testament reflects the broader biblical theme of understanding and interpreting the signs of the times, both in nature and in spiritual matters. The south wind serves as a metaphor for discernment and awareness, urging believers to be attentive to the signs around them.
