FWIW Further to what Carl said, I should think that really EGW EIMI and hO
KAIROS HGGIKEN amount to the same thing. It is two different ways of saying
the same thing, about messianic fulfilment. The point is not that they will
say any of those exact words, but they will confess that which both phrases
point to. The meaning conveyed by the phrases is more important than the
exact words.
