G160 aiphnídios
αἰφνίδιος
aheef-nid'-ee-os
sudden
Looking for Hebrew H160 ʼahăbâh? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G160. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
aiphnídios appears twice in Scripture, in Luke 21:34 and 1 Thessalonians 5:3. In the Doxa app, open each of these verses, keep your notes on them, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
Definition
unexpected, i.e. (adverbially) suddenly
In the King James Version
sudden, unawares
Derivation
from a compound of G1 (Α) (as a negative particle) and G5316 (φαίνω) (compare G1810 (ἐξαίφνης)) (meaning non-apparent);
Appears 2 times in Scripture
“But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.”
“While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”
