Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "husteros," the concept of "later" or "last" can be found in Hebrew words like אַחֲרִית (acharit), meaning "end" or "latter time."
Usage:The Greek word "husteros" is used to denote something that comes later in time or sequence. It often refers to events or conditions that occur after a certain point, emphasizing a subsequent or final position. In the New Testament, it is used to describe temporal sequences, often in the context of eschatological or moral teachings.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of time and sequence was significant in both philosophical and practical contexts. The term "husteros" would have been understood in everyday language to indicate something that follows or is subsequent to another event. In the biblical context, it often carries theological implications, particularly in discussions about the end times or the fulfillment of God's promises.
