Strong's Lexicon eschatós: Last, final, utmost, end Original Word: ἔσχατος Word Origin: Derived from a superlative form of the Greek word ἔκ (ek), meaning "out of" or "from." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - אַחֲרִית (acharit): Often translated as "end" or "latter time," used in contexts like the "end of days" (e.g., Daniel 12:13). - קֵץ (qets): Meaning "end" or "extremity," used in prophetic literature to denote the end of an era or event (e.g., Daniel 8:17). Usage: The Greek word "eschatós" is used to denote the last in a sequence, the final stage, or the utmost part of something. In the New Testament, it often refers to the end times or the final events in God's redemptive plan. It can also describe the last or least in terms of rank or importance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "eschatós" is significant in eschatological discussions, which concern the ultimate destiny of humanity and the world. The concept of the "last days" or "end times" was prevalent in Jewish apocalyptic literature and was carried into early Christian thought. This term reflects the anticipation of the culmination of history and the fulfillment of God's promises.
