Imminent (5031) tachinos

Imminent (5031) (tachinos from tachús = prompt, swift) and is used here to mean near at hand or impending. The only other NT use of tachinos is also by Peter (2Pe 2:1). The idea is that something is near at hand, impending or coming soon (in the near future). It can also convey the sense of speedy, quick or swift. Tachinos - 3x in the Septuagint Hag 1:6... Proverbs 1:16 For their feet run to evil And they hasten to shed blood. Isaiah 59:7 Their feet run to evil, And they hasten to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, Devastation and destruction are in their highways. Wuest says that imminent implies the speedy approach of death though others understand it of the quick, violent death which Christ prophesied He should die. ‘Even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.’ (Jn 21:18, 19) Compare also (Jn 13:36), and note the word "follow" in both passages. ‘Peter had now learned the full force of Christ’s sayings, and to what end the following of Jesus was to bring him.” (Wuest, K. S. Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament: Eerdmans or Logos) AS ALSO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS MADE CLEAR TO ME: kathos kai o kurios hemon Iesous Christos edelosen (3SAAI) moi: As also our Lord Jesus Christ - Some of Jesus' last words to Peter were... “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.” 19 Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me!” (Jn 21:18,19)
