This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 2:25. Πλὴν) Amo 3:2, רק. Septuagint, πλὴν.-ἄχρις οὗ ἂν ἥξω) Ἤκω, derived from the preterite of the verb ἵημι, already in the present involves the preterite [I am come, I am present]. And so the future, ἥξω, I will be present, ch. Rev 3:3, is nearer than the present ἔρχομαι itself, when taken alone. Thus, ἥκω, ἥκει, ἥκουσι, Joh 8:42; Joh 2:4; Joh 4:47; 1Jn 5:20; Luk 15:27; Mar 8:3, note. Whence, Heb 10:7; Heb 10:9, ἥκω is used for the preterite באתי, Psa 40:7; and thus the Septuagint everywhere: Num 23:1 (or Num 22:36); Deu 33:2; Jos 23:14-15; Jdg 16:2; 1Sa 16:2; 1Sa 29:6; 1Sa 29:10; 2Sa 3:23. There is a remarkable instance in Ecc 5:14, ἐπιστρέψει, ὡς ἥκει.
