The word (from , ‘end’) is ‘to accomplish anything by bringing it to an end.’ So the Lord was straitened until His death was accomplished. Luk 12:50. Comp. Luk 18:31 and Joh 19:28; and for the general sense of the word, Mat 11:1; Rev 10:7; Rev 11:7<\/p>\n
(from , ‘perfect’) is ‘to make perfect, complete,’ not merely to bring to an end. See Joh 17:23; Heb 2:10; Heb 5:9; Heb 10:1; Heb 11:40; Jam 2:22. In Act 20:24 the apostle Paul uses it of ‘completing ‘ his course<\/p>\n
(from , ‘full’) signifies ‘to fill, fill up, fulfil.’ The Lord said that He did not come to abolish, or make void, the law and the prophets; He came to fulfil, or give the fulness to them – to make good the whole scope of the law and the prophets. Mat 5:17. This helps as to the force of Col 1:25; not only was the circle of truth, the communication of God’s mind, as to the subjects of revelation, complete when the doctrine of the assembly was brought out through the apostle; but the truth as to the mystery gave fulness to the whole revelation of God. See also Mat 1:22; Mat 2:15; Mat 2:17; Mat 2:23, and many other passages. In the sense of ‘filling’ see Luk 2:40; the house was filled with the scent of the ointment in Joh 12:3; and the house was filled with the sound, in Act 2:2<\/p>\n
The apostle prays that the Ephesian saints might be filled unto all the fulness of God. Eph 3:19; and in Eph 4:10 we read “He that descended is the same that has also ascended up far above all the heavens that he might fill all things.”<\/p>\n
For ‘filling up’ see Mat 23:32<\/p>\n
19. TO ACCOMPLISH, FINISH, FULFIL The word (from , ‘end’) is ‘to accomplish anything by bringing it to an end.’ So the Lord was straitened until His death was accomplished. Luk 12:50. Comp. Luk 18:31 and Joh 19:28; and for the general sense of the word, Mat 11:1; Rev 10:7; Rev 11:7 (from , ‘perfect’) … Continue reading “19.
