In the New Testament, it is often used in eschatological contexts to describe the end of the age or the culmination of God's redemptive plan. It implies a sense of fulfillment and finality, marking the transition from one era to another.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "sunteleia" would have been understood in various contexts, such as the completion of a project, the end of a festival, or the conclusion of a legal agreement. In Jewish eschatological thought, the end of the age was associated with the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom. This understanding is reflected in the New Testament, where "sunteleia" is used to describe the anticipated culmination of history with the return of Christ and the final judgment.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 4930</b> <i>syntéleia</i> (from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">4862</a> <i>/sýn</i>, "close together <i>with</i>" and <a href="/greek/5055.htm">5055</a> <i>/teléō</i>, "complete, consummate") – <i>culmination</i> (completion), i.e. when the parts <i>come together</i> into a <i>whole</i> ("<i>consummation</i>") – "an end involving many parts" (B.
