What is the significance of the word "presence"?
What is the significance of the word "presence" at Matthew 24:3?
Answer:
Parousia.
There are three stages to the Lord's Parousia (presence).
Parousia is the first stage, and it encompasses the other two, but they happen later. Jesus' coming is not an event that takes ten minutes or even a day, but years are involved.
First He comes --Parousia --certain things happen during this time, and certain scriptures apply only to this time. the next stage of his Parousia is the Epiphania. this is when the Bride is complete.
The last stage is the Apokalupsis, revelation. this is for the world. This is what the world understands as the coming -- they don't understand the other stages. This happens and ends Jacobs Trouble. This inaugurates the Kingdom on earth.
There will be many who say presence isn't in that verse, they are wrong. Look up the word "coming" in Strongs and you will see it means presence.
