It is finished (i.e. brought near)

I recently posted on the connection of anamnesis (drawing near of memory) and Hebrew word for “offering” (the thing brought near).

I just had a connected thought that I’m just going to blog here to look at later (I’m busy doing a school assignment and don’t have time to think about it now). Jesus’s words on the cross, “It is finished” are well translated as “That which has been far off is now brought near.”

Like I said, just posting that so I can think about it later.
