in the word MELLW, how primary is the time element?
someone is telling me that MELLW always means "about to",
meaning that the word always indicates that the event will
happen very soon and that it is the primary meaning of the
word (i.e., the imminence of the event). is this true?
when i looked at the word usage (in the NT), it seems that
there is a certainty element (i.e., it *will* happen) but
i'm wondering about the temporal element of the word.
could someone help me out here? thanks!
