Not "the end"

[marie glen]

I was reading this today and found it very interesting. It's about the word translated "consummation" - consummation of the age is the phrase (Matthew 13:40)

[The KJV is misleading by rendering 4930 (syntéleia) as "the end of the world" (i.e. when it occurs with aiōn, "age/epoch"). This expression actually means "at the "consummation of the age," i.e. when it reaches its intended climax (consummated conclusion).]

And there's also this,

4930 /syntéleia ("culminating end, finish") is not strictly "termination" but rather "consummation" (completion) that ushers in a new time-era/age (Mt 13:39,40,49,24:3, 28:20).

Those quotes are from - https://biblehub.com/greek/4930.htm (but I underlined intended..His intended consummation.. result? Proving HIM right in alllll things...

Matthew 13:40 - "As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the (consummation) end of the age." (Berean Study Bible)

Not actually.. or so much, "the end"! And as we know, not "the end" for anyone!

P.S.  - The verse of course is about the Lord's parable of the wheat and tares/weeds (as opposed to wheat and chaff (of the wheat).

The wheat and the tares are in the field of "the world" and at the consummation, the grain and the weeds of the field are ripe. The tares are then gathered, as is the wheat, the grain.

..meaning it's before the judgment, called Judgment Day. So it's another oxymoron of seeing this parable as a hell and afterlife torment.

Here's another thing, when the unsaved / not yet saved, rise to the judgment, they don't rise from a burning hell!

That's how it's seen, people die unsaved, are thrown into hell (fire) then they rise 1000 years later, pronounced guilty and thrown back into hell fire.

But that's not what the word says.

"but the rest of the dead rise not until after the thousand years..And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them".. Rev. 20:6,13. The sea is not hell.. even Hades (not seen) isn't hell fire..
