A Different Kind of Parousia

From Wikipedia:

The original Greek version of the New Testament (Novum Testamentum Graece) uses the term parousia (παρουσία from the Greek literal meaning of parousia: divine presence, derived from “para“: beside, beyond, and “ousia“: substance) the “appearance and subsequent presence with” (in the ancient world referring to official visits by royalty). Parousia[1] is used in the Bible 24 times.[2]
