| Conceptual Significance | In the New Testament, ἐπιφάνεια often refers to the manifested appearing of Messiah—either His first coming or His future return—emphasizing not merely arrival but radiant, unveiled presence. It carries connotations of divine glory breaking into visible history. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS — noun, accusative case, feminine gender, singular number; functioning as a direct object in its clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "upon-shining manifestation" preserves the root sense of ἐπι- (upon) and φαίνω (to shine, to appear), conveying the idea of something becoming visibly manifest. The accusative feminine singular form is reflected by "the" (definite, singular) and noted as functioning as a direct object, matching the AFS morphology. |
