GREECE, GREEKS, GRECIANS - G>@ - The histories of Greece and Palestine are little connected with each other. In kjv@Genesis:10:2-5) Moses mentions the descendants of Javan as peopling the isles of the Gentiles; and when the Hebrews came into contact with the Ionians of Asia Minor, and recognized them as the long-lost islanders of the western migration, it was natural that they should mark the similarity of sound between Javan and Iones. Accordingly the Old Testament word which is Grecia , in Authorized Versions Greece, Greeks , etc., is in Javan kjv@Daniel:8:21; kjv@Joel:3:6) the Hebrew, however, is sometimes regained. kjv@Isaiah:66:19; Ezekiel:27;13) The Greeks and Hebrews met for the first time in the slave-market. The medium of communication seems to have been the Tyrian slave-merchants. About B.C. 800 Joel speaks of the Tyrians as, selling the children of Judah tot he Grecians, kjv@Joel:3:6) and in kjv@Ezekiel:27:13 The Greeks are mentioned as bartering their brazen vessels for slaves. Prophetical notice of Greece occurs in kjv@Daniel:8:21) etc., where the history of Alexander and his successors is rapidly sketched. Zechariah, kjv@Zechariah:9:13) foretells the triumphs of the Maccabees against the Greco
- Syrian empire, while Isaiah looks forward to the conversion of the Greeks, amongst other Gentiles, through the instrumentality of Jewish missionaries. kjv@Isaiah:66:19) The name of the country, Greece occurs once in the New Testament, kjv@Acts:20:2) as opposed to Macedonia. GENTILES

easton:

Greece @ orginally consisted of the four provinces of Macedonia, Epirus, Achaia, and Peleponnesus. In kjv@Acts:20:2 it designates only the Roman province of Macedonia. Greece was conquered by the Romans B.C. 146. After passing through various changes it was erected into an independent monarchy in 1831. Moses makes mention of Greece under the name of Javan kjv@Genesis:10:2-5); and this name does not again occur in the Old Testament till the time of Joel (3:6). Then the Greeks and Hebrews first came into contact in the Tyrian slave-market. Prophetic notice is taken of Greece in kjv@Daniel:8:21. The cities of Greece were the special scenes of the labours of the apostle Paul.
