SIBI-P1 G2240-06

they will arrive and be-present

Rootἥκω (hēkō)
Core Meaningsto arrive, to have come, to be present, to be at hand
Semantic Rangeto arrive at a location, to be present, to have come and now be here, to be at hand, to appear or come upon the scene
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, ἥκω often underscores not just the act of coming but the reality of arrival and presence, highlighting fulfillment, manifestation, or the decisive appearing of persons or events in redemptive history.
Morphological NotesVerb; future active indicative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IFA3,,P,). Indicates a definite future action performed by "they."
Rendering RationaleThe verb ἥκω emphasizes arrival with the resulting state of presence, not merely motion toward a place. Rendering it as "they will arrive and be-present" preserves this aspectual nuance while reflecting the future active indicative, third person plural ("they will").
