Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from a comparative form of the Greek word ὕστερον (hýsteron), meaning "later" or "afterward."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "later" or "last" in Hebrew can be found in words such as אַחֲרִית (acharit • Strong's Hebrew 319), meaning "end" or "latter part," and אַחַר (achar • Strong's Hebrew 310), meaning "after" or "behind." 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.

The term also appears in the context of eschatological teachings, where it highlights the sequence of events leading to the end times. In 1 Corinthians 15:45, Paul uses ὕστερος to contrast Adam, the first man, with Christ, the last Adam: "So it is written: 'The first man Adam became a living being'; the last Adam a life-giving spirit." This usage emphasizes the culmination of God's redemptive plan through Christ.

The word ὕστερος is significant in theological discussions about the order of salvation and the unfolding of divine plans. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over time and history, where the last can become first, and the expected order can be divinely altered.
