In the New Testament, it is used to describe geographical locations that are significant in the context of early Christian missionary journeys and events.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, islands were important for trade, travel, and cultural exchange. They often served as strategic locations for commerce and military purposes. In the context of the New Testament, islands were also places where early Christian missionaries, including the Apostle Paul, traveled to spread the Gospel. The islands mentioned in the Bible were part of the Roman Empire, which facilitated travel and communication across the Mediterranean Sea.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an island<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>island (9).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3520: νῆσος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">νῆσος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">νήσου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">νεώ</span>, to swim, properly, 'floating land'), <span class="accented">an island</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/13-6.htm">Acts 13:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-26.htm">Acts 27:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-1.htm">Acts 28:1, 7, 9, 11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/1-9.htm">Revelation 1:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/6-14.htm">Revelation 6:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/16-20.htm">Revelation 16:20</a>.
