It is used in the New Testament to describe both literal military forces and metaphorical spiritual armies. The word conveys the idea of organized, disciplined, and purposeful action, often in the context of conflict or warfare.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, armies were a central part of society, representing power, order, and authority. The Roman Empire, in particular, was known for its highly organized and disciplined military forces. The concept of an army would have been familiar to early Christians, who lived under Roman rule and often witnessed the presence of Roman soldiers. This cultural backdrop provides a vivid metaphor for spiritual warfare and the organized efforts of both divine and opposing forces.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4754.htm">strateuó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an expedition, an army, a company of soldiers<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>armies (4), army (1), soldiers (1), troops (2).<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 4753: στράτευμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">στράτευμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">στρατεύματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">στρατεύω</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">an army</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/22-7.htm">Matthew 22:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/9-16.htm">Revelation 9:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/19-14.htm">Revelation 19:14</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 59, 4 a.), 19. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">a band of soldiers</span> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
