It is often used metaphorically to describe the realm of spiritual forces or the domain of influence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "aér" was not only physical but also philosophical. The Greeks considered air one of the four classical elements, essential for life and a medium for the divine. In the biblical context, the air is seen as part of God's creation, sustaining life and sometimes symbolizing the spiritual realm where unseen forces operate.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from aémi (to breathe, blow)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>air<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>air (7).<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 109: ἀήρ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀήρ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀέρος</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἄημι</span>, <span class="greek2">ἄω</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἄνεμος</span></span>, at the beginning)), <span class="accented">the air</span> (particularly the lower and denser, as distinguished from the higher and rarer <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">αἰθήρ</span>, cf. <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Iliad 14, 288), the atmospheric region: <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-23.htm">Acts 22:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_thessalonians/4-17.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/9-2.htm">Revelation 9:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/16-17.htm">Revelation 16:17</a>; <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἄρχων</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">ἐξουσίας</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">ἀέρος</span> in <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/2-2.htm">Ephesians 2:2</a> signifies 'the ruler of the powers (spirits, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐξουσία</span></span> 4 c. <span class="greek2">ββ</span>.) in the air,' i. e. the devil, the prince of the demons that according to Jewish opinion fill the realm of air (cf.
