These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of sequence and timing, often used in prophetic and eschatological contexts in the Old Testament. Usage: In the New Testament, ὕστερος is used to describe events or conditions that occur later or subsequently. It can refer to time, sequence, or rank. Context: The Greek word ὕστερος appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of something occurring later or being last in a sequence. It is often used in contexts where timing or order is significant. For example, in Matthew 21:31, Jesus uses the term to describe the order of entry into the kingdom of God, emphasizing the reversal of expected roles: "Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you." Here, ὕστερος underscores the unexpected timing and order of those who respond to God's call.
