παρουσίᾳ
parousía
coming
State or condition of being present; the act of coming or arrival at a place. In various contexts, 'παρουσία' primarily denotes the physical presence of a person, especially one of high status, or the arrival/coming of someone into a situation. In Hellenistic and New Testament Greek, it can bear the specialized sense of an official or momentous arrival, often of a dignitary. In later Christian usage, it comes to refer specifically to a future, expected 'coming' or 'arrival,' particularly that of Jesus, with an overtone of significance or judgment.
