Gary answers a listener question about a Greek word used in Matthew 25:5, Hebrews 10:37, and in the Septuagint in Habakkuk 2:3. The NT often uses OT language to show that similar events are soon to pass in the first century. Israel's history often feels like a series of cyclical events and Paul even mentions that these events happened as "examples" to his generation, "on whom the end of the ages has come" (1 Corinthians 10:11).
