From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

  elements
       n : violent or severe weather (viewed as caused by the action of
           the four elements); "they felt the full fury of the
           elements"

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Elements
     In its primary sense, as denoting the first principles or
     constituents of things, it is used in 2 Pet. 3:10: "The elements
     shall be dissolved." In a secondary sense it denotes the first
     principles of any art or science. In this sense it is used in
     Gal. 4:3, 9; Col. 2:8, 20, where the expressions, "elements of
     the world," "week and beggarly elements," denote that state of
     religious knowledge existing among the Jews before the coming of
     Christ, the rudiments of religious teaching. They are "of the
     world," because they are made up of types which appeal to the
     senses. They are "weak," because insufficient; and "beggarly,"
     or "poor," because they are dry and barren, not being
     accompanied by an outpouring of spiritual gifts and graces, as
     the gospel is.
