Strong's Lexicon ekpléroó: To fulfill completely, to accomplish, to bring to completion. Original Word: ἐκπληρόω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb "πληρόω" (pléroó, meaning "to fill" or "to fulfill"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of fulfillment is מָלֵא (male', Strong's H4390), which means "to fill" or "to fulfill." Usage: The verb ἐκπληρόω is used to convey the idea of bringing something to its full measure or completion. It implies a thorough fulfillment or realization of a purpose or promise. In the New Testament, it often refers to the fulfillment of prophecies or divine promises, indicating that what was foretold or intended has been fully realized. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fulfillment was significant in both religious and secular contexts. Prophecies, contracts, and promises were expected to be fulfilled as a demonstration of integrity and divine or personal reliability. In the Jewish context, the fulfillment of God's promises and prophecies was central to the understanding of God's faithfulness and the unfolding of His redemptive plan.
