τῆς δευτέρας μου παρουσίας
Posted: December 3rd, 2021, 5:47 pm
Today I was reading in Oecumenius commentary on the Apocalypse and ran across the expression τῆς δευτέρας μου παρουσίας. I wondered which Father used this first. Justin Martyr used the expression. Couldn't find it in the Apostolic Fathers. It appears many times in NT Catenae which tells me nothing. I have run multiple searches and keep ending up at Justin Martyr. Didn't search any other language.
Anyone able to find some form of the expression before Justin Martyr?
Postscript: My wanderings in Church Father's have never been systematic and there are huge gaps.
