Consumption

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

CONSUMPTION . The Heb. word ( kâlâh ) which is translated ‘consummation’ in Daniel 9:27 is rendered ‘consumption’ in Isaiah 10:23; Isaiah 28:22 , these Eng. words having then the same meaning. Cf. Foxe, Actes and Mon ., ‘Christ shall sit … at the right hand of God till the consumption of the world.’ Consumption occurs also with the same meaning in Isaiah 10:22 (Heb. killyôn ). But in Leviticus 26:16 , Deuteronomy 28:22 it is used of a disease of the body. See Medicine.
