In the context of the New Testament, it often conveys a sense of urgency or immediacy, particularly in relation to actions or events that are expected to occur soon.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of speed was often associated with messengers, travel, and the execution of tasks. The ability to act swiftly was valued in both military and civic contexts. In the New Testament, the use of "ταχινός" reflects the early Christian expectation of the imminent return of Christ and the urgency of spreading the Gospel message.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>late form of <a href="/greek/5036.htm">tachus</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>swift<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>imminent (1), swift (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5031: ταχινός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ταχινός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ταχινή</span>, <span class="greek2">ταχινόν</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Theocritus</span> down, <span class="accented">swift, quick</span>: of events soon to come or just impending, <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/1-14.htm">2 Peter 1:14</a>;
