Exegesis

The opening phrase ho ouranos kai he ge {ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ | ho ouranós kai hē gē} gathers the two coordinated nouns into a single subject complex before the verb appears. That placement gives the first clause a sweeping, universal scope: the whole created order is subject to change.

Root and etymology

appointed time, fitting season

In contextLuke 21:33

The sky and the earth will vanish, but My words will certainly not vanish.
