Word of the Day - 7/3/2008

Regnant

Regnant means reigning; ruling (usually used following the noun it modifies).

Luke establishes the historical context of Jesus' birth by noting (among officers) that Augustus was Caesar regnant.

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. (Luke 2:1, NASB)
