Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, he has a Phd in religious studies. I believe he studied with catholics for a while as well on bibilical hermeneutics and interpretation. You might say he is a little biased given his religious background, but his religious academic background is pretty hard to dismiss. Plus the guy spends hours talking about sexual and liberal degeneracy and atheism in the modern world, so I can't just call him a liberal academic. @Immensa Despite the name he is actually a white guy of Spanish and English descent.

Yeah, its a way that greek functions and modifies language

No One Knows the Day or Hour

<32> "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. <33> Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. <34> It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. <35> Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— <36> lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. <37> And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"```
