The Greek New Testament substantiates that the death of Christ occurs "In the End of the World."
By Author Eli Kittim
According to the original Greek New Testament (Hebrews 9:26b), Christ will be manifested once and for all "in the end of the world" to die for the sins of the world. It reads:
νυνϊ δε απαξ επι ϲυντελεια των αιωνων ειϲ αθετηϲιν τηϲ αμαρτιαϲ δια τηϲ θυϲιαϲ αυτου πεφανερωται.
Translation (King James Version):
"Once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself" (Hebrews 9:26).
Biblical scholars translate the Greek phrase "ϲυντελεια των αιωνων" to mean "in the end of the world." A similar phrase, "ϲυντελειαϲ του αιωvos,” can be found in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 28 and verse 20:
διδαϲκοντεϲ αυτουϲ τηριν παντα οϲα ενετιλαμην ϋμιν και ϊδου εγω ειμι μεθ υμων παϲαϲ ταϲ ημεραϲ εωϲ τηϲ ϲυντελειαϲ του αιωvos.
Translation (American Standard Version):
"teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
Therefore, it is unquestionable that the Greek phrase "ϲυντελειαϲ του αιωvos" (Matthew 28:20) means "in the end of the world." And if that's the case, and it is, then the reference to Jesus being manifested once "επι ϲυντελεια των αιωνων" to die for the sins of the world (Hebrews 9:26) would certainly mean that his death occurs "Once in the end of the world," and not 2,000 years ago as is currently assumed!
