you (plural) are on-the-point-to
| Root | μέλλω (mellō) |
| Core Meanings | to be about to, to be on the point of, to intend, to be destined, to be impending |
| Semantic Range | to be about to do something, to intend or plan, to be destined or bound to occur, to be impending or imminent, to delay with expectation |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, μέλλω often signals divinely appointed events, impending judgment, or purposeful intention. It frames actions within expectation—whether human resolve or unfolding divine plan—highlighting the nearness or certainty of what is about to occur. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active indicative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,IPA2,,P,). Present tense conveys ongoing or current imminence; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states it as a fact; plural addresses more than one person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb μέλλω carries the sense of something impending or intended, often implying expectation or imminence. The present active indicative, second person plural form expresses an ongoing or current state: "you (plural) are" in the condition of being about to do something. The rendering preserves both the root idea of imminence and the present, active, indicative force directed to a plural audience. |
