In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe severe trials or tribulations that test one's faith and endurance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the sun's heat was a powerful and sometimes destructive force. The intense midday sun could cause dehydration and exhaustion, making it a fitting metaphor for severe trials or divine judgment. The imagery of scorching heat was familiar to the original audience, who lived in a climate where the sun's intensity was a daily reality.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2545.htm">kaió</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>heat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heat (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 2738: καῦμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καῦμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καύματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">καίω</span>), <span class="accented">heat</span>: of painful and burning heat, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/7-16.htm">Revelation 7:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/16-9.htm">Revelation 16:9</a>.
