It conveys the sense of something happening abruptly or instantaneously.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greek world, sudden events were often seen as significant, sometimes indicating divine intervention or the unfolding of fate. The concept of suddenness could evoke both awe and fear, as it often implied a change in circumstances that was beyond human control. In the biblical context, sudden events are frequently associated with divine action or revelation, underscoring God's sovereignty and the unpredictability of His plans.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and the same as <a href="/greek/160.htm">aiphnidios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>suddenly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>suddenly (5).<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 1810: ἐξαίφνης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐξαίφνης</span></span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἐξέφνης</span> (except in <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-6.htm">Acts 22:6</a>), see their Appendix, p. 151), adverb (<span class="greek2">αἰφνης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἄφνω</span>, <span class="greek2">ἀφνως</span> suddenly), <span class="accented">of a sudden, suddenly, unexpectedly</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/13-36.htm">Mark 13:36</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/2-13.htm">Luke 2:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-39.htm">Luke 9:39</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/9-3.htm">Acts 9:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-6.htm">Acts 22:6</a>.
