It is often used in the context of time, specifically referring to the day that follows the current one. This word is typically used to indicate the immediate future, emphasizing the continuity of time from one day to the next.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, time was often measured in terms of days, with particular emphasis on the sequence of days. The Jewish understanding of days, which began at sunset, also influenced the use of terms like "epiousa." This word reflects the cultural importance of daily cycles and the anticipation of what is to come, a concept that was significant in both Jewish and early Christian contexts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/greek/1897.htm">epeimi</a>. <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 1966: ἐπιοῦσα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιοῦσα</span></span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἔπειμι</span></span>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>following, next. <p>Feminine singular participle of a comparative of <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and heimi (to go);
