The Greek word for honey. In the New Testament, it appears in descriptions of John the Baptist's diet (wild honey) and in Revelation's vision of eating the scroll that was sweet as honey.
John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey in the wilderness (Matthew 3:4) — a diet that symbolized his prophetic separation from normal society and dependence on God's provision. In Revelation 10:9-10, the scroll that was sweet as honey in the mouth but bitter in the stomach illustrates that God's word is delightful to receive but may bring difficult truths. The Old Testament frequently describes the Promised Land as flowing with milk and honey.
