Concise Bible Dictionary
:
1. ἀήρ,
the
fluid that we breathe, and which surrounds the
earth
.
There
are two remarkable references to the
air
: one, that at the
Rapture of the saints
the raised dead and the living will be caught up into the clouds, and will
meet
the
Lord
in the air
(
1 Thess. 4:17
17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
), in the same sphere in which the Lord disappeared at His
ascension
. The
other
is that
Satan
is called the
prince
of the
power
of the air
(
Eph. 2:2
2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (Ephesians 2:2)
), doubtless referring to the permeating character of the air, which we not
only
breathe, but it fills our houses and enters everywhere. When the air is tainted
with
malaria it permeates everywhere and poisons everything; so Satan has such power that his poisonous
spirit
morally contaminates everything in
the
world
, of which he is the
god
.
2. οὐρανός, literally “
heaven
,” translated “air” only in reference to the
birds
and fowls (
Matt. 8:20
20
And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. (Matthew 8:20)
).

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, … rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
