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 "goal," similar to the concept of "acharith" in terms of finality or completion. - G2078 (ἔσχατος, eschatos): Meaning "last" or "end," used in eschatological contexts. Usage: The Hebrew word "acharith" primarily refers to the "end" or "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 a broader sense, it can also refer to posterity or what comes after in terms of descendants or legacy. 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 and judgments. This term is frequently used in prophetic literature to describe the eschatological future, emphasizing the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenant with His people.
