This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term ἔλευσις, highlighting its theological importance and its role in the New Testament narrative. Usage: The term ἔλευσις is used in the New Testament to denote the coming or arrival of a person, often with significant implications, such as the coming of Christ. Context: • The Greek noun ἔλευσις appears in the New Testament to describe the act of coming or arrival, particularly in contexts that carry theological weight. It is used to emphasize the significance of the arrival, often in relation to divine or messianic events. • In the New Testament, ἔλευσις is notably used in 1 Thessalonians 2:19, where the Apostle Paul speaks of the "coming" of the Lord Jesus Christ. This usage underscores the anticipation and hope associated with Christ's return, a central theme in Christian eschatology. • The concept of ἔλευσις is closely tied to the expectation of the Parousia, the second coming of Christ, which is a pivotal event in Christian doctrine. This arrival is not merely a physical coming but is imbued with spiritual and redemptive significance. • The term also reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's intervention in human history, where divine "comings" are moments of revelation, judgment, and salvation.
