It often describes actions that are to be undertaken without delay or events that are expected to occur soon. The term emphasizes the promptness or rapidity of an action or event.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of speed and immediacy was significant in various aspects of life, from communication to travel. The use of "tachu" in the New Testament reflects a cultural understanding of time and urgency, often in the context of divine intervention or eschatological events. The early Christian community lived with an expectation of the imminent return of Christ, which is reflected in the use of this term.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p
