Exegesis
The idiom heōs hou {ἕως οὗ | héōs hoû} introduces the terminal point of the abstention, while hē basileia tou theou {ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ | hē basileía tou theoû} presents the awaited event as the arrival of God’s reign rather than a mere location.
In context — Luke 22:18
For I say to you, from this time forward I will certainly not drink from the vine’s yield until the kingdom of God comes.
