It conveys a sense of distress and turmoil, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual or emotional trials.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, sea travel was fraught with danger, especially during the winter months when storms were common. The imagery of being storm-tossed would have resonated deeply with early Christians, many of whom lived in coastal regions and were familiar with the perils of the sea. This term captures the vulnerability and helplessness experienced during such natural events, which were often seen as acts of divine power or judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from cheima (winter cold)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to expose to winter cold, to drive with storm<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>storm-tossed (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 5492: χειμάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χειμάζω</span></span>: present passive participle <span class="greek2">χειμαζόμενος</span>; (<span class="greek2">χεῖμα</span> stormy weather, winter (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">χειμών</span></span>)); <span class="accented">to afflict with a tempest, to toss about upon the waves</span>: passive, <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-18.htm">Acts 27:18</a> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
