Stevens, William Arnold, Exerpts from An American Commentary on the New Testament
(On Matthew 24:27)
"It is of prime importance for the student of this subject to understand - so often is the case stated otherwise - that Parousia is the New Testament answer to two distinct words, arrival and presence, usually the former; that in most instances these meanings are not interchangable, but that one or the other is required, according to the context; for example, the former in I Cor. 16:17, and the latter in Phil. 212" (Stevens, p. 63)
