Strong's Lexicon acharon: Last, latter, end, future Original Word: אַחֲרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root אָחַר (achar), meaning "to be behind" or "to delay." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2078 (eschatos): Meaning "last" or "end," often used in the New Testament to describe the end times or final events. - G2079 (eschaton): Referring to the last things or the end. Usage: The Hebrew word "acharon" is used to denote something that is last in a sequence, latter in time, or pertaining to the future. It often contrasts with "first" or "former" and can refer to the end of a period, the last in a series, or future events. In a biblical context, it can describe the latter days or end times, as well as the last in a list or sequence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of time and sequence was often expressed in terms of spatial orientation, with the past being "behind" and the future "ahead." The term "acharon" reflects this understanding, emphasizing the importance of what comes last or what is yet to come. This perspective is evident in the biblical narrative, where the latter days or end times hold significant theological importance, often associated with prophetic fulfillment and divine intervention.
