It is used in the New Testament to describe a position in the sky where something is prominently visible to all, often associated with divine or angelic proclamations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek cosmology, the sky was divided into different sections, with "midheaven" being the zenith or the highest point directly overhead. This concept was significant in both Greek and Jewish thought, as it represented a place of prominence and visibility. In biblical literature, the sky or heavens are often depicted as the realm of divine activity and revelation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3319.htm">mesos</a> and <a href="/greek/3772.htm">ouranos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the zenith, mid-heaven<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>midheaven (3).<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 3321: μεσουράνημα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μεσουράνημα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μεσουρανηματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (from <span class="greek2">μεσουρανέω</span>; the sun is said <span class="greek2">μεσουράνειν</span> <span class="accented">to be in mid-heaven,</span> when it has reached the meridian), <span class="accented">mid-heaven, the highest point in the heavens,</span> which the sun occupies at noon. where what is done can be seen and heard by all: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/8-13.htm">Revelation 8:13</a> (cf.
