A menudo traducido como "borde", "frontera", "límite", "periferia", "lugares lejanos" y de otras maneras, este término se utiliza en la Biblia para designar lo más alejado de una zona, y generalmente representa o bien una introducción en el estado que rodea, una protección para ese estado o simplemente la zona dentro de ese estado que está más baja y alejada del Señor.

2936. 'Which is at the end of his field' means where little of the Church exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'the end' or the edge as that which is little, and from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church, and also the Church's doctrine, dealt with in 368. That 'the end' or the edge means that which is little becomes clear from the description of the land, the ground, and fields in the Word. The middle of them means that which is much, but the edge means that which is little. This edge is also called the circumference, the reason being that what is representative expires around the edge; and so here 'the end of the field' means where little of the Church exists.
