Matthew 24:3 "..together-finish of the age"

[LittleLambofJesus]

Matthew 24:3 of the Olivet Discourse uses a rather unique greek word #4931, found only in Matthew[5 times] and Hebrews[1 time].

Here is a verse from Matthew and Hebrews:

4930. sunteleia
entire completion, i.e. consummation (of a dispensation):--end.

Matthew 24:3
He is yet sitting on the mount of the Olives, and His disciples came to Him privately saying "tell us! when? shall these be and what? the Sign of the Thy ParousiaV,
and of the together-finish/sun-teleiaV <4930> of the Age/aiwnoV <165>?"

Hebrews 9:26
Since it was binding Him many-times to be suffering from down-casting<2602> of world<2889>,
now yet once upon together-finish/sun-teleia <4930> of the Ages/aiwnwn <165> into putting-away of sin thru the sacrifice of Him, He has been manifested<5319>.

The site below shows it is used often in the LXX, including Daniel:

Consummation (4930) (sunteleia from sun = together or an intensifier + teleo =
to finish) describes the bringing of something to a successful finish.
In a word the noun sunteleia means completion, conclusion, close, end, consummation. It is used 5 times by Jesus Himself in the phrase the "end of the age."

Sunteleia is used much more frequently in the Lxx than in NT. Study especially the uses (see Lxx uses below) in the apocalyptic or prophetic portions of Daniel (Da 8:19-note, Da 9:25-note, Da 9:26-note, Da 9:27-note, Da 12:4, 6, 7, 13-note).
Sunteleia is clearly an "eschatologically rich" term both the Old and the New Testaments apply to the end of the age.

Sunteleia - 56 verses in the non-apocryphal Septuagint - Ex 23:16; Deut 11:12; Josh 4:8; Jdg 20:40; 1 Sam 8:3; 20:41; 1 Kgs 6:22, 25; 2 Kgs 13:17, 19; 2 Chr 24:23; Ezra 9:14; Neh 9:31; Esth 4:17; Job 26:10; 30:2;

Ps 59:12f; 119:96;
Jer 4:27; 5:10, 18; 46:28;
Ezek 11:13; 13:13; 20:17; 21:28; 22:12;
Dan 4:28, 31, 34; 8:19; Da 9:25-27; 11:6, 13, 27, 35f, 40, 45; 12:4, 6f, 13;
Amos 1:14; 8:8; 9:5; Nah 1:3, 8f;
Hab 1:9, 15; 3:19; Zeph 1:18

Dan 9:27 “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction (Lxx = at the end of time an end shall be put to the desolation), one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

The word hapax with the meaning of once and for all is stressed in Heb 9:26 in regard to the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ as contrasted by the appearance of the high priest every year in the Holy of Holies (Heb 9:25). Hapax in this sense means that this was the first and last time that Christ’s offering was made, and it was made for the once–and–for–all removal of sin.

The idea of the perpetual offering of Christ is a heretical doctrine that for many centuries has contradicted this...........................
