It is often employed metaphorically to convey ideas of following, the end part of something, or as a symbol of deception and danger, particularly in apocalyptic literature.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the tail of an animal could symbolize various attributes, such as strength, agility, or cunning. In the context of the New Testament, particularly in the book of Revelation, the imagery of a tail is used to convey the destructive and deceptive power of evil forces. The tail, as the hindmost part of an animal, can also symbolize the least or the last, often associated with a position of lesser honor or importance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>appar. a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a tail<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tail (1), tails (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3769: οὐρά</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">οὐρά</span></span>, <span class="greek2">οὐράς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">a tail</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/9-10.htm">Revelation 9:10, 19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/12-4.htm">Revelation 12:4</a>.
