Definition: The term "aethalium" appears in two places in the New Testament, both translated as a single Greek phrase: 1) In Matthew 6:29-30, Jesus commands his disciples to "say, We are the children of God." This is translated as "We are the children of God." 2) In Revelation 5:6-7, we find that those who have been created from Adam's seed (i.e., through faith in Jesus Christ) are called "sons of God" and receive special privileges. This passage uses the word "aethalium" to describe these individuals, which means they have access to a higher authority or privilege. The definition of "aethalium" can be found in the context of biblical reference to divine order and hierarchy: - In Genesis 2:7, God says that through his authority He gives them dominion over all nations (the "sons of God"). - In Revelation 5:6, it is said that those who have been created from Adam's seed will be called "sons of God" (aethalium). The phrase "son" in this passage means someone who is a part of God's family. Thus, the term "aethalium" describes individuals who are born and raised under God's sovereignty. These two passages together underscore that Jesus' disciples were being commanded to be "sons of God" through faith, indicating they have access to a unique privilege within God’s family.
