Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἐνεστως, see ἐνίστημι.

STRONGS NT 1764: ἐνίστημι ἐνίστημι: perfect ἐνέστηκα, participle ἐνεστηκώς (Hebrews 9:9), and by syncope ἐνεστως; 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 ἐνεστως namely, χρόνος is the present tense (cf. Philo de plant. Noë § 27 τριμερης χρόνος, ὅς εἰς τόν παρεληλυθότα καί ἐνεστῶτα καί μέλλοντα τέμνεσθαι πέφυκεν)), present: καιρός ἐνεστως, Hebrews 9:9; τά ἐνεστῶτα opposed to τά μέλλοντα, Romans 8:38; 1 Corinthians 3:22; ἐνεστως αἰών πονηρός in tacit contrast with τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι, Galatians 1:4 (Basil., epistle 57 ad Melet (iii., p. 151 c., Benedict. edition) ὠφέλιμα διδαγματα ἐφοδια πρός τέ τόν ἐνεστῶτα αἰῶνα καί τόν 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.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Contemporary usage makes it clear that in 2 Thessalonians 2:2 ὡς ὅτι ἐνέστηκεν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ Κυρίου, ἐνέστηκεν should be rendered as pointing to strictly present time, ";as that the day of the Lord is now present"; (RV) and not ";is at hand"; (AV) : see, e.g., the references to the current month and year in such passages as BGU I. 22.6 (A.D. 114) (= Selections, p. 74) τῇ δ τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος μηνὸς Φαρμοῦθι, P Fay 28.10 (A.D. 150–1) (= Selections, p. 82) εἰς τὸ ἐνεστὸς ι ̄δ ̄ (ἔτος) : cf. Milligan Thess. p. 97, Zahn Intr. i. p. 235. Add such passages as P Tebt II. 383.37 (A.D. 46) where certain shares are assigned to contracting parties ἀπὸ τῆς ἐνεστώσης ἡμέρας ἐπὶ τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον, P Lond 1164(h).6 (A.D. 212) (= III. p. 164) ἀπὸ τῆς ἐνεστώσης καὶ ὑποκειμένης ἡμέρας, P Oxy I. 37i. 11 (A.D., 49) ἐνέστηι ἡ προθεσμία τοῦ δευτέρου ἐνιαυτοῦ, κα [ ] π ̣άλιν ἀπέλαβεν, ";the appointed day in the second year came, and again she received (her wages),"; and P Flor I. 1.6 (A.D. 153) τῆς προθεσμίας ἐνστάσης, so ib. 81.10 (A.D. 103). Mayser Gr. p. 371 collects many instances illustrating various forms of the verb.
