Footnote

a On page 426 of the McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopædia, Volume 2, column 2, we read this subheading: “Coming (parousía, being present) OF CHRIST.” At Matthew 24:3 the word translated “presence” is this Greek word parousía. See Philippians 2:12 and; 2 Corinthians 10:10 for other occurrences of this Greek word.
