[B-Greek] Temporal Element of MELLW

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!
