Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sumpléroó," the concept of fulfillment and completion can be related to Hebrew words like מָלֵא (male', Strong's H4390), which means "to fill" or "to be full."

Usage: The verb "sumpléroó" is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of something being completely filled or fulfilled. It often refers to the completion of time or the fulfillment of a specific event or prophecy. The term implies a sense of fullness and completion, indicating that a particular period or event has reached its intended conclusion.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fullness and completion was significant in various contexts, including legal, philosophical, and religious spheres. The idea of time being "filled" or "completed" was often associated with the fulfillment of prophecies or the arrival of significant events. In the Jewish context, the fulfillment of time was closely linked to God's divine plan and the unfolding of His purposes in history.
