MACEDONIA - M>@ - (extended land), a large and celebrated country lying north of Greece, the first part of Europe which received the gospel directly from St. Paul, and an important scene of his subsequent missionary labors and those of his companions. It was bounded by the range of Haemus or the Balkan northward, by the chain of Pindus westward, by the Cambunian hills southward, by which it is separated from Thessaly, an is divided on the east from Thrace by a less definite mountain boundary running southward from Haemus. Of the space thus enclosed, two of the most remarkable physical features are two great plains, one watered by the Axius, which comes to the sea, at the Thermaic Gulf, not far from Thessalonica; the other by the Strymon, which after passing near Philippi, flows out below Amphipolis. Between the mouths of these two rivers a remarkable peninsula projects, dividing itself into three points, on the farthest of which Mount Athos rises nearly into the region of perpetual snow. Across the neck of this peninsula St. Paul travelled more than once with his companions. This general sketch sufficiently describes the Macedonia which was ruled over by Philip and Alexander and which the Romans conquered from Perseas. At first the conquered country was divided by Aemilius Paulus into four districts, but afterward was made one province and centralized under the jurisdiction of a proconsul, who resided at Thessalonica. The character of the Christians of Macedonia is set before us in Scripture in a very favorable light. The candor of the Bereans is highly commented, kjv@Acts:17:11) the Thessalonians were evidently objects of St. Paul’s peculiar affection, ( kjv@1Thessalonians:2:8 kjv@1Thessalonians:2:17-20 kjv@1Thessalonians:3:10) and the Philippians, besides their general freedom from blame, are noted as remarkable for their liberality and self-denial. kjv@Philemon:4:10; 14-19) see kjv@2Corinthians:9:2 kjv@2Corinthians:11:9

Macedonia @ in New Testament times, was a Roman province lying north of Greece. It was governed by a propraetor with the title of proconsul. Paul was summoned by the vision of the "man of Macedonia" to preach the gospel there kjv@Acts:16:9). Frequent allusion is made to this event (18:5; 19:21; kjv@Romans:15:26; kjv@2Corinthians:1:16 kjv@2Corinthians:11:9; kjv@Philippians:4:15). The history of Paul's first journey through Macedonia is given in detail in kjv@Acts:16:10-17:15. At the close of this journey he returned from Corinth to Syria. He again passed through this country (20:1-6), although the details of the route are not given. After many years he probably visited it for a third time kjv@Philippians:2:24; kjv@1Timothy:1:3). The first convert made by Paul in Europe was kjv@Acts:16:13-15) Lydia (q.v.), a "seller of purple," residing in Philippi, the chief city of the eastern division of Macedonia.
