In the context of the New Testament, it can imply spiritual maturity or the peak of one's faith journey.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of ἀκμή was significant in various fields, including philosophy, agriculture, and personal development. It represented the ideal state of being, whether it was a crop reaching harvest, a person achieving wisdom, or a community experiencing prosperity. This term would resonate with early Christians who were encouraged to grow and mature in their faith.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from akmé (a point, edge)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be at the prime<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ripe (1).<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 187: ἀκμάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀκμάζω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ή᾿κμασα</span>; (<span class="greek2">ἀκμή</span>); <span class="accented">to flourish, come to maturity</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/14-18.htm">Revelation 14:18</a>.
