GEIA SAS SUNELLINOFILOI,
Can someone fill me in on the syntax and use of the aorist active
subjunctive ELQH in 2Th 1.10? It doesn't seem to fit the kinds of syntax I
would normally look for with subjunctive. What is its relation to the
aorist passive infinitive ENDOZASQHNAI? I suppose to answer that the syntax
of ENDOZASQHNAI must also be addressed. Is the idea one of purpose, as in
"Whenever he comes so that he can be glorified"? Or might it be more
temporal (going along with hOTAN), as in "Whenever he comes to be
glorified"? My feeling is that a conditional sense just wouldn't work in
the context, "Whenever he might come to be glorified". I will appreciate
some broader perspective on how this verse works.
Bless the Name
