Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "παρουσία," the concept of divine presence and coming can be related to terms such as "בּוֹא" (bo, Strong's Hebrew 935), meaning "to come" or "to enter," and "שָׁכַן" (shakan, Strong's Hebrew 7931), meaning "to dwell" or "to abide," which convey the idea of God's presence among His people. Usage: The word "παρουσία" is used in the New Testament to describe both the presence of individuals and the anticipated second coming of Christ. It appears in contexts discussing the end times and the fulfillment of God's promises. Context: The term "παρουσία" is significant in eschatological discussions within the New Testament. It is frequently associated with the second coming of Jesus Christ, a pivotal event in Christian theology. This event is characterized by the return of Christ in glory and power to judge the living and the dead, as well as to establish His eternal kingdom.
