It indicates proximity in terms of time, space, or degree. In the New Testament, it is used to describe situations or conditions that are on the verge of occurring or being fulfilled.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "schedon" reflects the Greek understanding of time and events as being on a continuum. The concept of "nearness" was significant in both everyday life and eschatological expectations. The early Christians lived with a sense of the imminent return of Christ, and terms like "schedon" would resonate with their anticipation of future events.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adverb from <a href="/greek/2192.htm">echó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>near, nearly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>almost (2), nearly (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 4975: σχεδόν</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σχεδόν</span></span> (<span class="greek2">ἔχω</span> (<span class="greek2">σχεῖν</span>), adverb, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">near, hard by</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> from <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span> down (of degree, i. e.) <span class="accented">well-nigh, nearly, almost</span>; so in the N.
