PAROUSIA*

Transliteration of a Greek word meaning “presence,” “arrival,” “appearance,” or “coming.” While it is used often with reference to people (1 Cor 16:17; 2 Cor 7:6; 10:10; Phil 1:26; 2:12) and once with reference to the Antichrist (2 Thes 2:9), the word is employed most frequently with reference to Christ (Mt 24:3, 27, 37-39 OET MAT 24:3 · OET MAT 24:27 · OET MAT 24:37–39; 1 Cor 15:23; 1 Thes 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; 2 Thes 2:1, 8 OET TH2 2:1 · OET TH2 2:8). Consequently, the Parousia has come to denote the second coming of Christ at the end of the ages.

Paul was probably responsible for the technical emphasis on Christ’s return. While rejecting all attempts to calculate the time (1 Thes 5:1-2; 2 Thes 2:2-3; cf. Mt 24:4-36), he nonetheless paints a vivid picture of the Parousia (1 Thes 4:13-18; 2 Thes 1:7–2:8 OET TH2 1:7–12 · OET TH2 2:1–8; see also 1 Cor 15:20-28, 50-55 OET CO1 15:20–28 · OET CO1 15:50–55). According to his teaching, it will be a personal, visible, sudden, and glorious coming (1 Cor 15:23; 1 Thes 2:19; 3:13; 4:15-17). Though apparently he felt he and his readers would experience Christ’s return (1 Thes 4:15; cf. Rom 8:23; 13:11), his approaching martyrdom caused him to moderate his thinking (Phil 1:23). James, also sensing the delay in Christ’s return, called for patience (Jas 5:7-8). Peter, too, cautioned against allowing the delay to create doubt (2 Pt 3:8-10). The message is not myth (2 Pt 1:16), and scoffers will be silenced (3:3-4). John encouraged consistent faith lest the believer be put to shame at his coming (1 Jn 2:28).

13 But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers and sisters, about those who’ve died so that you won’t mourn like others who don’t have any hope,

OET-RV TH1 4:14

14 because if we believe that Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) died and came back to life, then we can also believe that when he returns, Yeshua will be bringing with him those who have died.
