However, the idea of objects or messages from heaven can be loosely related to Hebrew concepts of divine revelation or heavenly signs.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from Dios (of Zeus) and the same as <a href="/greek/4098.htm">piptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fallen from heaven<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>which fell down from heaven (1).<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 1356: διοπετής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διοπετής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">διοπετες</span> (from <span class="greek2">Διός</span> of Zeus, and <span class="greek2">πέτω</span> for <span class="greek2">πίπτω</span>; in secular writings also <span class="greek2">Διιπετής</span>), <span class="accented">fallen from Zeus,</span> i. e. <span class="accented">from heaven</span>: <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">διοπετες</span>, namely, <span class="greek2">ἄγαλμα</span> (which is expressed in <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, Iph.
