Strong's Lexicon basileion: Kingdom, royal palace, reign Original Word: βασίλειον Word Origin: Derived from βασιλεύς (basileus), meaning "king." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a kingdom is מַלְכוּת (malkuth), which also signifies dominion, reign, or royal power. Usage: The term "basileion" primarily refers to a kingdom or the domain over which a king rules. It can also denote a royal palace or the concept of kingship and reign. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven, emphasizing the spiritual reign of God over the hearts and lives of believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, a "basileion" was understood as a realm governed by a king, encompassing both the physical territory and the authority exercised by the monarch. The concept of a kingdom was central to Jewish eschatological hopes, where the anticipated Messiah would establish God's rule on earth. This understanding is reflected in the New Testament's portrayal of Jesus as the King who inaugurates God's kingdom.
