Description | A definition of the meaning of παρουσία as a concept denoting the second coming. In the New Testament several Greek words are used to denote the second coming of Christ. None of these words can be translated as ‘second coming’. The questions arise whether these words can be treated as exact synonyms and whether there are differences in nuance in the meaning. As a first step to answer these questions, a word study of the concept παρουσία, which is usually used as a technical term for the second coming, is done. In this word study diachronic and synchronic methods are used. Finally, a definition of the meaning of παρουσία is reached: It is the visible second coming and comforting presence of Jesus Christ from heaven to his people on earth, at the end of time, in glory as Godly Ruler, King, Conqueror, Judge and Lord, for which his people have prepared and which will be accompanied by praise and worship, which will encourage his followers with hope because He will change their situation for the better by redeeming them for eternity. | |
