His Parousia
Several Greek terms are used in the New Testament for the return of Jesus at the end of the present age. They include parousia (“arrival”), erchomai (“coming”), and epiphaneia (“appearance”). Regardless of which one is used, in each case, it is always singular, and refers to only one future “ coming .” The term parousia is applied to his return most often in the letters of Paul, though not exclusively so. It signifies an “ arrival ” rather than the process of someone or something “coming.”
