Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en te basileia tou theou {ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ | en tē̂ basileíā tou theoû} specifies the eschatological sphere in which this fulfillment occurs, presenting the kingdom as the setting where God’s purposes reach completion. In the formal translation, the emphatic ou me is rendered as “will certainly not,” and the passive plerothe is maintained as “is fulfilled” to keep the focus on divine action. The dynamic translation reshapes the temporal clause into “until its meaning is fully realized,” making explicit the idea of the meal’s symbolic fulfillment while preserving the future, kingdom-centered orientation.
