Difference between revisions of "Dawn"

<div> A — 1: Αὐγάζω (Strong'S #826 — [[Verb]] — augazo — ow-gad'-zo ) </div> <p> "to shine," is used metaphorically of the light of dawn, in 2 Corinthians 4:4 (some texts have kataugazo). Cp. auge, "brightness or break of day," Acts 20:11 . The word formerly meant "to see clearly," and it is possible that this meaning was continued in general usage. </p> <div> A — 2: Διαυγάζω (Strong'S #1306 — Verb — diaugazo — dee-ow-gad'-zo ) </div> <p> signifies "to shine through" (dia, "through," auge, "brightness"); it describes the breaking of daylight upon the darkness of night, metaphorically, in 2 Peter 1:19 , of the shining of spiritual light into the heart. A probable reference is to the Day to be ushered in at the [[Second]] Coming of Christ: "until the Day gleam through the present darkness, and the Light-bringer dawn in your hearts." </p> Revelation 21:21 <div> A — 3: Ἐπιφώσκω (Strong'S #2020 — Verb — epiphosko — ep-ee-foce'-ko ) </div> <p> "to grow light" (epi, "upon," phos, "light"), in the sense of shining upon, is used in Matthew 28:1; in Luke 23:54 , "drew on" (of the Sabbath-day); RV, marg., "began to dawn." See Draw. </p> <div> B — 1: Ὄρθρος (Strong'S #3722 — Noun Masculine — orthros — or'-thros ) </div> <p> "daybreak," denotes "at early dawn," Luke 24:1 (RV), "early in the morning" (AV); John 8:2 (AV and RV); in Acts 5:21 , RV, "about daybreak," for AV, "early in the morning." </p> Luke 24:22Revelation 22:16Luke 21:38
