ἐνίστημι: perfect
ἐνέστηκα, participle
ἐνεστηκώς (
Hebrews 9:9), and by syncope
ἐνεστώς; future middle
ἐνστήσομαι;
to place in or
among; to put in; in perfect, pluperfect, 2 aorist, and in middle (properly, as it were
to stand in sight, stand near)
to be upon, impend, threaten:
2 Thessalonians 2:2; future middle
2 Timothy 3:1. perfect participle
close at hand, 1 Corinthians 7:26; as often in Greek writings (in the grammarians
ὁ ἐνεστώς namely,
χρόνος is the
present tense [cf. Philo de plant. Noë § 27
τριμερὴς χρόνος,
ὃς εἰς τὸν παρεληλυθότα καὶ ἐνεστῶτα καὶ μέλλοντα τέμνεσθαι πέφυκεν]),
present:
ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐνεστώς,
Hebrews 9:9;
τὰ ἐνεστῶτα opposed to
τὰ μέλλοντα,
Romans 8:38;
1 Corinthians 3:22;
ὁ ἐνεστώς αἰών πονηρός in tacit contrast with
τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι,
Galatians 1:4, (Basil., epistle 57 ad Melet. [3, p. 151 c., Benedict. edition]
ὠφέλιμα διδάγματα ἢ ἐφόδια πρός τε τὸν ἐνεστῶτα αἰῶνα καὶ τὸν μέλλοντα). [Many (so
R. V.) would adopt the meaning
present in
2 Thessalonians 2:2 and
1 Corinthians 7:26 also; but cf. Meyer on Galatians, the passage cited.]
