ἔλευσις G1660
coming, arrival, advent; the act of coming or appearing
This noun means coming or arrival, often used of significant appearances. In Acts 7:52, Stephen accuses his hearers' ancestors of persecuting the prophets who announced beforehand "the coming of the Righteous One." The term can refer to ordinary arrivals but here carries eschatological weight: the advent of the Messiah. Classical usage includes arrivals into life or significant entrances. The noun underscores the prophetic anticipation of Christ's first coming.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Coming or arrival, especially of a significant or anticipated event. In Acts 7:52, Stephen speaks of the prophets foretelling the coming of the Righteous One—the Messiah. The noun highlights the prophetic foreannouncement of Christ's advent, which Israel's leaders rejected by killing both the prophets and the Messiah Himself. The term carries the weight of fulfilled messianic expectation. 1×
