| Noah Webster's Dictionary (n.) The act of consummating, or the state of being consummated; completed; completion; perfection; termination; end (as of the world or of life). Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia CONSUMMATION kon-su-ma'-shun (killayon from kalah): The word, meaning destruction, completion, or failing (Isaiah 10:23; Isaiah 28:22 Daniel 9:27) is translated interchangeably in the King James Version for another Hebrew word referring to a physical disease, and best translated "consumption"; compare Leviticus 26:16 Deuteronomy 28:22. Not used in the Revised Version (British and American). The Hebrew variously but more accurately translated "full end"; compare Daniel 9:27 Isaiah 10:23; and "destruction"; compare Isaiah 10:22; Isaiah 28:22. There seems therefore to be an inconsistency on the part of both the Authorized and Revised translations.
Walter G. Clippinger | Multi-Version Concordance Consummation (2 Occurrences) Hebrews 9:26 since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice. (DBY NAS) Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (KJV WBS YLT) |
