The Greek noun pa·rou·si´a literally means a "being alongside," the expression being drawn from the preposition pa·ra´ (alongside) and ou·si´a (a "being"). The word pa·rou·si´a occurs 24 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures, namely, in Mt 24:3, 27, 37, 39; 1Co 15:23; 16:17; 2Co 7:6, 7; 10:10; Php 1:26; 2:12; 1Th 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; 2Th 2:1, 8, 9; Jas 5:7, 8; 2Pe 1:16; 3:4, 12; 1Jo 2:28. In these 24 places the New World Translation renders pa·rou·si´a as "presence."
the word pa·rou·si´a refers to the royal presence of Jesus Christ since his enthronement(IN 1914) as King in the last days of this system of things.
