It can represent the transient nature of earthly things, as smoke is fleeting and dissipates quickly. The imagery of smoke is also used to convey the idea of prayers rising to God, as seen in the context of incense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient cultures, including Jewish tradition, smoke was a significant symbol. It was associated with sacrificial offerings, where the smoke from burnt offerings was seen as a pleasing aroma to God. In the Greco-Roman world, smoke also had connotations of divine presence and communication with the gods. The imagery of smoke would have been familiar to early Christians, both from their Jewish heritage and the surrounding pagan culture.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>smoke<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>smoke (13).<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 2586: καπνός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καπνός</span></span>; <span class="greek2">καπνοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (fr <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">smoke</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/8-4.htm">Revelation 8:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/9-2.htm">Revelation 9:2f, 17, 18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/14-11.htm">Revelation 14:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/15-8.htm">Revelation 15:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-9.htm">Revelation 18:9, 18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/19-3.htm">Revelation 19:3</a>; <span class="greek2">ἀτμίς</span> <span class="greek2">καπνοῦ</span>, <span class="abbreviation">A.
