Parousia Here’s
some
The Second Coming of Christ (a phrase not found in the
Bible) is expressed by the apostles in the following special terms:
(1) "Parousia" (parousia), a word fairly common in
Greek, with the meaning "presence" (2 Corinthians 10:10; Philippians 2:12). More
especially it may mean "presence after absence," "arrival"
(but not "return," unless this is given by the context), as in 1 Corinthians 16:17;
2 Corinthians 7:6,7; Philippians 1:26. And still more particularly it is applied to the Coming
of Christ in 1 Corinthians 15:23; 1 Thessalonians
2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; 2 Thessalonians
2:1,8; James
5:7,8; 2 Peter
1:16; 3:4,12; 1 John 2:28--in all 13 times, besides 2 Thessalonians 2:9,
where it denotes the coming of Anti-christ. This word
for Christ's Second Coming passed into the early Patristic literature (Diognetus, vii.6, e.g.), but its use in this sense is not
invariable. For instance the word in Ignatius, Philadelphians, ix.2, means the
Incarnation. Or the Incarnation is called the first Parousia,
as in Justin, Trypho, xiv.
But in modern theology it means invariably the Second Coming. Recent
archaeological discoveries have explained why the word received such general
Christian use in the special sense. In Hellenistic Greek it was used for the
arrival of a ruler at a place, as is evidenced by inscriptions in Egypt, Asia
Minor, etc. Indeed, in an Epidaurus inscription of
the 3rd century BC (Dittenberger, Sylloge
(2), Number 803, 34), "Parousia"

Coming, Presence, or Nearness?
It
was just two days before Passover and his death, sometime around midnight, when
Jesus and his Apostles left Jerusalem and crossed the Valley of Cedars (Kidron), then they walked up the Mount of Olives and sat
down in a quiet spot. And as they looked at the marvelous Temple of Jehovah in
the light of the full moon, some of his Apostles commented on the magnificence
of these buildings. Then Jesus said, ‘Do you see all these things? I tell you
the truth, there won’t be a stone left on top of a stone here that won’t be
thrown down.’
Then,
just after Jesus had foretold the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (as
recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21), Jesus’ Apostles asked him to
tell them when the thing he had just foretold would happen. It’s important for
us to understand exactly what they asked, because this will help us to
understand the meaning of his reply better, which may have to do with the end
of this period that we are now living in.
We
have three different accounts of these words, one by Matthew (who may have been
an eyewitness), and one each by Mark and Luke, who probably heard what Jesus
said from Apostles who were the actual eye witnesses. And because the words
expressed in each case are slightly different, we can see what the Apostles
really understood him to mean, not what the words are thought to mean in a
single verse.
In
Greek, Matthew 24:3 reads, ‘Eipon hemin pote tauta
estai kai ti to semion tes
ses parousias kai synteleias tou aionos.’ Word-for-word in
English, that reads, ‘Say to/us when these will/be and what the sign at/the
your being/next/to and ending the age.’
In
Greek, Mark 13:4 reads, ‘Eipon hemin pote tauta
estai kai ti to semion hotan
melle tauta synteleisthai panta.’
Word-for-word in English, that reads, ‘Say to/us when these will/be and what
the sign when may/be/about these ending all.’
In
Greek, Luke 21:7 reads, ‘Didaskale, pote oun tauta
estai kai to to semion hotan
melle tauta ginesthai.’ Word-for-word in English, this reads, ‘Teacher,
say therefore these will/be and what the sign when may/be/about these begin.’
We
find the Greek word parousias (which is only
used in the Matthew account) is used in similar context at 1 Corinthians 15:23, 1
Thessalonians 2:19, 3:13, 4:15, 5:23, 2
Thessalonians 2:1, 9, James
5:7, 8, 2 Peter 1:16, 3:4, 12, and at 1 John 2:28. So, we suspect that all these
scriptures are referring to the same period in time. But, when is that, and how should parousias
be properly translated?
Well,
some Bibles have translated the word parousias
at Matthew 24:3 as coming, but the problem with this is that the Greek
word for coming is erchomenon… which
doesn't have the same meaning as parousias.
However, if you look at the Hebrew and Aramaic texts, you’ll see that the words
he spoke in either language translate as coming or arrival. So,
although much has been written about the meaning and significance of the Greek
word parousias, that probably wasn't the word that Jesus actually
used, for it is thought that he spoke in Aramaic (not Greek).
One
Bible translates parousias as presence,
which is good, because the English word presence is derived from parousias. And if we were to conclude that
Jesus’ Apostles actually asked about his parousias,
we would then assume that the Apostles were asking Jesus when he would be
present or have already arrived, not for just signs that he
was about to come. So, what did the Apostles really ask?
Well,
if you read the same the account (about the question that was asked) in the
books of Mark and Luke (as shown above), you’ll see that Mark quoted them as
asking when these things were about to be, and in Luke they asked
what the signs were when the destruction of God’s Temple was about to
begin. In other words, they were asking what the signs would be when
the things that Jesus was foretelling (his coming) were about to happen, not
when he had already arrived. So, there is no mention of a parousia in either account!
As
further proof, note that in the Aramaic text of Mark, Jesus’ Apostles were
quoted as saying, ‘Tell us when these things will happen and what is the
sign that these things are near and all these things will be fulfilled?’
And in Luke he was quoted as saying, ‘When will these things be, and what is
the sign that these things are near to happening?’
Also,
notice Jesus’ words at Matthew 24:33, where he said, ‘Likewise, when you see
all these things [happening], know that he’s near – at the doors.’ So,
the signs that Jesus gave weren’t the signs of the end, but of when they
were ‘about to end.’ And at the conclusion of the period when these
signs are seen, Jesus will be ‘present,’ ‘have arrived,’ or have ‘come’ to bring
the foretold destruction.
We
read of the events of Jesus’ coming (gr. ercomi)
starting at Matthew 24:29. And since these prophecies were never fulfilled
during the destruction of Jerusalem, they must specifically refer to a modern
and greater series of events to come upon the whole world. Then throughout the
rest of Matthew 24 and 25, Jesus talks about this period of his coming, which
appears to apply to the events that include (or lead up to) Armageddon.
Notice
another interesting difference between the accounts of what the Apostles asked.
In Matthew, the question was more complex, for they not only asked about the
signs of when he would arrive, but when the age would end. However, both
in Mark and Luke it appears as though they were just asking when the Temple
would be destroyed. And then Luke (in particular) recorded just the signs
leading up to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
Yet,
the accounts in Matthew and Mark went on to describe things that didn’t happen
when Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed in 70-C.E. What things? The actual
coming (gr. erchomenon) of Jesus… when
the skies become dark and great signs are seen (Matthew 24:29, 30, and Mark
13:24-27). This appears to be what all the signs that he gave about his coming
or arrival (nation rising against nations, famines, earthquakes, etc.) were to
lead up to at some future date.
Now,
in the case of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, most of the signs
that Jesus gave did in fact happen toward the latter half of the First Century.
So could we say that Jesus arrived then? Yes, he must have played an active
role in the destruction of Jerusalem, because that’s what he said in his
prophecy. That this assumption is true can be seen in Jesus’ instructions to
his Apostles when he first sent them out to preach. Notice that a short period
is implied in his words found at Matthew 10:23; ‘When they persecute you in
this city, run to another. Because, I tell you the truth, you may not call
on all the cities of Israel before the Son of Man arrives.’
But
were those things to have a greater fulfillment in the future… possibly in our
day?
Many
Bible scholars have concluded that the answer is no, and the prophecy was
completely fulfilled on Jerusalem in 70-C.E., because Luke’s account seems to
verify that idea. And for a fact, most of the prophecies were fulfilled when
that city was destroyed. Yet, those who disagree with this view refer back to
the same question Jesus’ Apostles asked, to prove there will be a future
fulfillment. For other Bibles quote the Apostles as asking, ‘What will be the
signs of your coming and the end of the world?’ And since ‘the world’
hasn’t ended yet, they argue that Jesus’ prophecy has still to be fulfilled
completely.
Yet,
while we agree with the belief that there will be a greater fulfillment of this
prophecy, their argument isn’t totally valid, because Jesus didn’t actually say
anything about the end of the world. If you go back and read the Greek
words, you'll see that he didn’t speak of the end of the cosmos (world),
but of the end of the aionos (age… a
word that those Bibles also wrongly translate as forever, world,
or system of things).
Although
the age of Jewish worship at the Temple in Jerusalem did end in 70-C.E., we
think that that the signs leading to the coming of Jesus will have a
second fulfillment because of what is said at Revelation 6:2-7, where we read,
‘And at that {Look!} I saw a white horse, and the one who was sitting on it had
a bow. He was given a crown and he came to conquer and to complete his victory…
a fire-red horse came out, and … he was authorized to take peace away from the
earth … a black horse … a greenish-yellow horse … and the grave came following
him.’
This
familiar scripture, which was written almost thirty years after the destruction
of Jerusalem, was obviously speaking of some then-future event, and it foretold
the same things that Jesus foretold in Matthew 24, a period marked by war,
famine, sickness, and death. So we must conclude that Jesus’ prophecy does have
a future (and global) fulfillment. But when?
Some
have argued that there are two comings of Jesus; a heavenly coming and a later
earthly coming. For they teach that Jesus comes first in a heavenly role,
followed by the ouster of the Slanderer from heaven and a time of great woe for
the earth (the signs), and then he comes again to bring Armageddon to the
earth. So, the time between these two comings are said to be the period of
Jesus’ presence.
The
scripture that is quoted to prove this theory is found at Revelation 12:7-12,
where we read: ‘Next, war broke out in heaven. Michael and his messengers went
to war against the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers fought back; but
he lost and could no longer stay in heaven. So, the huge dragon was thrown out.
He is the first snake, the one who is called the Slanderer and Opposer, who is leading the whole earth astray. He was
thrown down to the earth along with his messengers. Then I heard a loud voice
in heaven say, This is the moment when the salvation, the power, the Kingdom
of our God, and the authorization of his Anointed One begins … But woe to
the earth and the sea, because the Slanderer has come down to you in a rage,
knowing that he only has a short time left.’
Now,
we know that the things mentioned in this scripture didn’t happen in some
ancient time, because (as we were told at the beginning of the Revelation) it
was a vision of what would happen ‘in the Lord’s Day.’ So,
when will (or did) that prophecy start to be fulfilled? Well, those who
teach the two comings of Jesus point to 1914-C.E. as the time when this great
war in heaven began. For that was when the terrible First World War started,
followed by famine throughout Europe, and the horrible world-wide plague of
Spanish Influenza, which killed millions throughout the earth. This plague was
so bad that the then U.S. President, Woodrow Wilson, was heard to comment that
these events all looked like ‘the ride of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.’
But,
was this conclusion correct, and did the year 1914 see the great
war in heaven and the beginning of Jesus’ parousia?
Well, it could be, but we don't wish to be dogmatic, for no one can be unsure
of the meanings of the events that started in 1914. They could in fact be the
signs that Jesus told us to look for that would lead up to his coming, but
there are no scriptures or prophecies that tell of two comings of Jesus.
So, although the signs could possibly be correct, we have a problem with the
belief that Jesus came in 1914. For the scriptures shown above lead us to
believe that Jesus’ Apostles were asking about the signs that he was about
to arrive, not that he was already present.
In
fact, the time of woe for the earth spoken of at Revelation 12 could
also be talking about the great time of difficulty
that Jesus referred to in his prophecy of Matthew 24. And although that
specific prophecy doesn't appear to have begun yet, the signs that Jesus was about
to come may in fact have already started.
There’s
no way that we could refer to 1914 as the year when Jesus had already come,
for Jesus said that when he comes, when ‘the sun will grow dark, the moon won’t
put out light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the Heavens
will shake… the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky and all the
tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief when they see the Son of
Man coming on the clouds in the sky with power and great glory.’
So,
saying that Jesus has already ‘come’ is very misleading and technically wrong,
and this leaves us no reason to believe the things that follow in the account
in Matthew (such as the identifying of the faithful wise slave) has already
happened. For more information, see the linked documents, ‘Armageddon – When?’ and ‘The Faithful and Sensible Slave.’
