at hand
1 Peter 4:7
4:7 at hand. It is obvious from such passages as this that Peter and the other apostles considered the return of Christ and “the end of all things” always to be imminent. They are still imminent; He could come at any moment. Therefore, like Peter’s first readers, we also should always “be sober and watch unto prayer.” See also I John 2:28; Mark 13:33.
