Usage
The Greek word "hémera" primarily refers to a 24-hour period, a day as understood in the context of time. It can also denote a specific day or a period characterized by a particular event or condition, such as "the day of the Lord." In the New Testament, "hémera" is used both literally and metaphorically, indicating not only the passage of time but also significant eschatological events.
