El apéndice de la Traducción Interlineal del Reino pasa en un solo párrafo de la afirmación léxica de que παρουσία significa “presence” [“presencia”] a la afirmación doctrinal de que en Mateo 24:3 “refers to the royal presence of Jesus Christ since his enthronement as King in the last days of this system of things” [“se refiere a la presencia real de Jesucristo desde su entronización como Rey en los últimos días de este sistema de cosas”], es decir, a una presencia invisible que comenzó en 1914. Nada en la evidencia léxica aporta esa fecha ni esa invisibilidad.

La posición de la organización o su explicación posterior: El apéndice de la organización apoya el punto léxico en Liddell y Scott, en el Theological Dictionary of the New Testament y en The Parousia (1879), de Israel P. Warren, y trata la aplicación a la entronización de Cristo como algo que se desprende de la Biblia en conjunto y no de la palabra por sí sola.

The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, “Appendix 3B: Christ’s Presence (Parousia)”

1985 · pp.1147-1149 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“The word pa·rou·siʹa occurs 24 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures … In these 24 places the New World Translation renders pa·rou·siʹa as “presence.” … Liddell and Scott’s A Greek-English Lexicon, 1968, p. 1343, gives as the first definition of pa·rou·siʹa the English word presence. … In Matthew 24:3, as well as in other texts such as 1 Thessalonians 3:13 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1, the word pa·rou·siʹa refers to the royal presence of Jesus Christ since his enthronement as King in the last days of this system of things.”

The organisation's defence of 'presence', and the doctrinal conclusion drawn from it. The appendix also quotes Israel P. Warren's 1879 book The Parousia at length and Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich-Danker on parousia as 'the official term for a visit of a person of high rank'.

Nota de procedencia y verificación for The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, Appendix 3B: Christ’s Presence (Parousia)

Nota de confianza. Appendix opened in full on wol.jw.org on 19 September 2026; page markers 1147, 1148 and 1149 read from the page-number spans. I confirmed from Liddell, Scott and Jones directly that 'presence' is indeed sense A; I have not opened Warren (1879) or the printed BAGD.

Notes. The final sentence is the load-bearing one for the 1914 doctrine: the lexical claim ('presence') and the doctrinal claim ('since his enthronement as King') are placed side by side, but the second does not follow from the first.

A Greek-English Lexicon (Liddell, Scott and Jones), “παρουσία”

1940 · entry παρουσία · Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, revised by Sir Henry Stuart Jones · Clarendon Press, Oxford; digital text hosted by the Perseus Digital Library, Tufts University

“παρουσ-ία, ἡ, (πάρειμι) A. presence, of persons, δεσπότου, etc., A. Pers. 169 … 2. arrival, ἡμῶν κοινόπουν π. S. El. 1104, cf. E. Alc. 209, Th.1.128 … 5. in NT, the Advent, Ev.Matt.24.27, al.”

Liddell, Scott and Jones give ‘presence’ as sense A.1 and ‘arrival’ as sense A.2, so ‘presence’ is a well-attested classical sense. The same entry also gives, as sense A.5, ‘in NT, the Advent’, citing Matthew 24:27 — the New Testament sense the lexicon itself distinguishes from the classical ones.

Nota de confianza. The Perseus entry page was opened on 19 September 2026 and the entry text read directly from the page HTML. I did not consult a printed copy of LSJ, so no page number of the printed lexicon is recorded. Independent audit, 19 September 2026: the earlier version of this record quoted only senses A.1 and A.2 and omitted sense A.5, ‘in NT, the Advent, Ev.Matt.24.27’, which bears directly on the passage at issue. Sense A.5 has been added so that the record does not present the lexicon as more favourable to one side than it is.

Notes. This confirms the Kingdom Interlinear appendix's citation of Liddell and Scott, and also shows what that appendix does not mention: that the same entry gives 'arrival' as a second sense.
