$
(
!
, 4930) signifies “a bringing to completion together” (
$
“with,”
, “to complete,” akin to No. 1), marking the “completion” or consummation
of the various parts of a scheme. In Matt. 13:39-40, 49; 24:3; 28:20, the rendering “the
end of the world” (
KJV
and
RV
, text) is misleading; the
RV
marg., “the consummation of
the age,” is correct. The word does not denote a termination, but the heading up of events
to the appointed climax.
*
is not the world, but a period or epoch or era in which
events take place. In Heb. 9:26, the word translated “world” (
KJV
) is in the plural, and the
phrase is “the consummation of the ages.” It was at the heading up of all the various
epochs appointed by divine counsels that Christ was manifested (i.e., in His Incarnation)
“to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.”¶

(

space, chiefly in the plural, Matt. 12:42,

KJV
, “uttermost parts”; so Luke
11:31 (

, “utmost”); Rom. 10:18 (
KJV
and
RV
, “ends”); (b) of the termination of
something occurring in a period, Heb. 6:16,
RV
, “final,” for
KJV
, “an end,” said of strife.
