Strong's Lexicon acharith: End, latter time, future, outcome, posterity Original Word: אַחֲרִית Word Origin: Derived from the root אָחַר (achar), meaning "to be behind" or "to come after." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5056 (τέλος, telos): Often translated as "end" or "completion," similar to "acharith" in its focus on the outcome or final state. - G2078 (ἔσχατος, eschatos): Meaning "last" or "final," used in eschatological contexts akin to "acharith." Usage: The Hebrew word "acharith" primarily refers to the end or the latter part of something, often in the context of time or events. It can denote the final outcome or result of a situation, the future, or the latter days. In some contexts, it also refers to posterity or descendants. The term is used to convey both positive and negative outcomes, depending on the context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "acharith" was significant in understanding the unfolding of God's plans and purposes. The Israelites often viewed history and future events through the lens of divine providence, where the "end" or "acharith" was seen as the culmination of God's promises or judgments. This perspective is evident in the prophetic literature, where the "latter days" are frequently mentioned in relation to eschatological events.
