It often implies the culmination of a process or the achievement of a goal. This term can refer to the completion of a task, the fulfillment of a prophecy, or the end of an age or period. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of completion or fulfillment was significant in various contexts, including legal, philosophical, and religious spheres. The idea of bringing something to its intended end was often associated with divine purpose and destiny. In the Jewish context, fulfillment of prophecy and the completion of God's plans were central themes, especially concerning the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom.
