Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - 5056 (τέλος, telos): Often translated as "end" or "completion," this Greek term shares a similar semantic range with "qets," emphasizing the idea of fulfillment or conclusion.

Usage: The Hebrew word "qets" primarily denotes the concept of an end or a limit. It is used to describe the conclusion of a period of time, the boundary of a geographical area, or the termination of an event or process. In the biblical context, "qets" often signifies the fulfillment of God's plans or the culmination of prophetic events.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "qets" was significant in understanding time and divine intervention. The Israelites viewed history as a linear progression towards a divinely appointed end. This understanding was deeply rooted in their covenant relationship with God, who revealed His purposes and plans through prophets. The notion of an "end" was not merely chronological but also theological, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the ultimate fulfillment of His promises.
