Amidst \A*midst"\, Amid \A*mid"\, prep. [OE. amidde, amiddes, on       midden, AS. on middan, in the middle, fr. midde the middle.       The s is an adverbial ending, originally marking the       genitive; the t is a later addition, as in whilst, amongst,       alongst. See {Mid}.]       In the midst or middle of; surrounded or encompassed by;       among. [bd]This fair tree amidst the garden.[b8] [bd]Unseen       amid the throng.[b8] [bd]Amidst thick clouds.[b8] --Milton.       [bd]Amidst acclamations.[b8] [bd]Amidst the splendor and       festivity of a court.[b8] --Macaulay.                   But rather famish them amid their plenty. --Shak.          Syn: {Amidst}, {Among}.          Usage: These words differ to some extent from each other, as                   will be seen from their etymology. Amidst denotes in                   the midst or middle of, and hence surrounded by; as,                   this work was written amidst many interruptions. Among                   denotes a mingling or intermixing with distinct or                   separable objects; as, [bd]He fell among thieves.[b8]                   [bd]Blessed art thou among women.[b8] Hence, we say,                   among the moderns, among the ancients, among the                   thickest of trees, among these considerations, among                   the reasons I have to offer. Amid and amidst are                   commonly used when the idea of separate or                   distinguishable objects is not prominent. Hence, we                   say, they kept on amidst the storm, amidst the gloom,                   he was sinking amidst the waves, he persevered amidst                   many difficulties; in none of which cases could among                   be used. In like manner, Milton speaks of Abdiel,                               The seraph Abdiel, faithful found; Among the                            faithless faithful only he, because he was then                   considered as one of the angels. But when the poet                   adds,                               From amidst them forth he passed, we have rather                   the idea of the angels as a collective body.                               Those squalid cabins and uncleared woods amidst                            which he was born.                        --Macaulay.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Amethyst       one of the precious stones in the breastplate of the high priest       (Ex. 28:19; 39:12), and in the foundation of the New Jerusalem       (Rev. 21:20). The ancients thought that this stone had the power       of dispelling drunkenness in all who wore or touched it, and       hence its Greek name formed from _a_, "privative," and _methuo_,       "to get drunk." Its Jewish name, _ahlamah'_, was derived by the       rabbins from the Hebrew word _halam_, "to dream," from its       supposed power of causing the wearer to dream.                It is a pale-blue crystallized quartz, varying to a dark       purple blue. It is found in Persia and India, also in different       parts of Europe.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Antichrist       against Christ, or an opposition Christ, a rival Christ. The       word is used only by the apostle John. Referring to false       teachers, he says (1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 1:7), "Even now       are there many antichrists."                (1.) This name has been applied to the "little horn" of the       "king of fierce countenance" (Dan. 7:24, 25; 8:23-25).                (2.) It has been applied also to the "false Christs" spoken of       by our Lord (Matt. 24:5, 23, 24).                (3.) To the "man of sin" described by Paul (2 Thess. 2:3, 4,       8-10).                (4.) And to the "beast from the sea" (Rev. 13:1; 17:1-18).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Antioch       (1.) In Syria, on the river Orontes, about 16 miles from the       Mediterranean, and some 300 miles north of Jerusalem. It was the       metropolis of Syria, and afterwards became the capital of the       Roman province in Asia. It ranked third, after Rome and       Alexandria, in point of importance, of the cities of the Roman       empire. It was called the "first city of the East." Christianity       was early introduced into it (Acts 11:19, 21, 24), and the name       "Christian" was first applied here to its professors (Acts       11:26). It is intimately connected with the early history of the       gospel (Acts 6:5; 11:19, 27, 28, 30; 12:25; 15:22-35; Gal. 2:11,       12). It was the great central point whence missionaries to the       Gentiles were sent forth. It was the birth-place of the famous       Christian father Chrysostom, who died A.D. 407. It bears the       modern name of Antakia, and is now a miserable, decaying Turkish       town. Like Philippi, it was raised to the rank of a Roman       colony. Such colonies were ruled by "praetors" (R.V. marg., Acts       16:20, 21).                (2.) In the extreme north of Pisidia; was visited by Paul and       Barnabas on the first missionary journey (Acts 13:14). Here they       found a synagogue and many proselytes. They met with great       success in preaching the gospel, but the Jews stirred up a       violent opposition against them, and they were obliged to leave       the place. On his return, Paul again visited Antioch for the       purpose of confirming the disciples (Acts 14:21). It has been       identified with the modern Yalobatch, lying to the east of       Ephesus.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Antiochus       the name of several Syrian kings from B.C. 280 to B.C. 65. The       most notable of these were, (1.) Antiochus the Great, who       ascended the throne B.C. 223. He is regarded as the "king of the       north" referred to in Dan. 11:13-19. He was succeeded (B.C. 187)       by his son, Seleucus Philopater, spoken of by Daniel (11:20) as       "a raiser of taxes", in the Revised Version, "one that shall       cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom."                (2.) Antiochus IV., surnamed "Epiphanes" i.e., the       Illustrious, succeeded his brother Seleucus (B.C. 175). His       career and character are prophetically described by Daniel       (11:21-32). He was a "vile person." In a spirit of revenge he       organized an expedition against Jerusalem, which he destroyed,       putting vast multitudes of its inhabitants to death in the most       cruel manner. From this time the Jews began the great war of       independence under their heroic Maccabean leaders with marked       success, defeating the armies of Antiochus that were sent       against them. Enraged at this, Antiochus marched against them in       person, threatening utterly to exterminate the nation; but on       the way he was suddenly arrested by the hand of death (B.C.       164).
