Eschatos marks what stands at an end—whether a final time, a last position, a concluding state, or the earth's farthest extent.

The term most often marks a final point in time or sequence, including a final day, time, event, or person sent last. It also describes the lowest or last position in comparisons with those who are first, a later state measured against an earlier one, and the farthest part of the earth.

1. Final point in time or sequence · dominant

   The forms identify a concluding time or final item in an ordered sequence. In John 6:39 the APB renders the clause about raising those given to him "on the last day"; in 1 Corinthians 15:52 it places the change of the dead "at the last trumpet," and in Mark 12:6 the beloved son is sent after the others.

   John 6:39John 11:241 Corinthians 15:521 Corinthians 15:8Mark 12:6Revelation 15:1
2. Last or lowest position among persons · common

   Used of persons or places in an ordering, the term marks the position opposite those called first. In Mark 9:35 the APB renders the condition for seeking to be first as becoming "last of all and servant of all"; in Matthew 20:8 payment begins with the workers identified as last, before the first.

   Mark 9:35Mark 10:31Luke 13:30Matthew 20:8Matthew 20:16Luke 14:10
3. Later state or final counterpart · occasional

   The term can mark a later condition or member when set against an earlier or first one. In 2 Peter 2:20 the APB renders a renewed entanglement as a "last state" worse than the first; in 1 Corinthians 15:45 it contrasts "the first man Adam" with "the last Adam."

   2 Peter 2:20Luke 11:26Matthew 12:45Matthew 27:641 Corinthians 15:45Revelation 2:19
4. Farthest extent · rare

   In the witness commission, the genitive singular neuter form occurs in the phrase locating its reach at the earth's outer limit. In Acts 1:8 the APB renders the destination "to the end of the earth," and Acts 13:47 similarly has "the last part of the earth."

   Acts 1:8Acts 13:47

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the term with "last," including "last day," "last days," and "last state," while Acts 1:8 renders the spatial clause "the end of the earth." These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than supplying a separate definition in every instance.
