UNTO

The use of this word in every Bible is taken out of context for some "mysterious" reason. Maybe just to fool the masses, as the entire book is written to do.
UNTO in actuality means Not To, Does Not, Is Not, Doesn't Follow, Isn't For, Not With, Without - as in the true form of the word.
UNTO can also be defined as Under To, Less Than, None To - as in gesture of respect to one or another.
Rev. 13:7. And it was given UNTO him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Genesis 2:22. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her UNTO the man.

hold unto your buckets

Same as "hold on to your hat", meaning that you should anticipate what is to come, because it will be very great, magical, frightening, etc.

First used by Tobuscus on his Twitter when announcing he is uploading a new song.
(tweet from Jan 25:)

unto

"to" means direction and does not necessarily include the arrival at the final location.
“Onto” means one previous location has been left and the subject is now “on” a new location. It includes the arrival at the new location.
“Into” means a previous location has been left and the subject is now “in” a new location. It includes the arrival at the new location.
“Unto” is used when neither “on” nor “in” would effectively describe the state of the subject with respect to its final location. This is demonstrated well with, not a physical location, but an abstract state of being. Take this sentence for example:
“God put Adam into the garden to tend to fruit trees”
“Unto” does not mean the same as “to”. If they did then they would be interchangeable in all scenarios yet they are not interchangeable here. If the first “to” is swapped with “unto” then the tense of the verb has to change to accommodate:
“God put Adam into the garden unto tending to fruit trees.”
To the one who desires to eliminate “unto” and leave the English speaker only with “to” they may as well eliminate “onto” and “into also. If it is omitted, we are left without a way of specifying the same senses as “onto” and “into” when discussing abstract topics, not just spiritual topics but any such movement from one state to another. The word "unto" is useful in the English language today. Therefore, it is not archaic just like any other useful word is not archaic.
"And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38
