Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē eschatē hēmera {ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ | en tē es-khá-tē hē-mé-ra} “on the last day” specifies the temporal frame of resurrection, anchoring the promise in eschatological consummation. In translation, the conditional ean mē is rendered as “unless” to preserve the strong necessity, helkysē as “draws” to retain the metaphor of divine attraction rather than mere persuasion, and the future anastēsō as “I will raise … up” to reflect both resurrection and exaltation nuances while keeping the Greek sequence of divine drawing followed by Christ’s raising.
Root and etymology
hēmeraeta–mu–epsilon–rho–alpha
