{In a moment} (en atom(9369)). Old word, from a privative
and emn(935c), to cut, indivisible: Scientific word for _atom_
which was considered indivisible, but that was before the day of
electrons and protons. Only here in N.T. {In the twinkling of an
eye} (en rip(8869) ophthalmou). Old word
ip(885c) from
ipt(935c), to
throw. Only here in N.T. Used by the Greeks for the flapping of a
wing, the buzz of a gnat, the quivering of a harp, the twinkling
of a star. {At the last trump} (en t(8869) eschat(8869) salpiggi).
Symbolical, of course. See on 气Th 4:16; Mt 24:31|.
