Exegesis
Kai nun estin {καὶ νῦν ἐστιν | kaì nŷn estin} deliberately overlaps future expectation with present realization, which is why the translation keeps both movement and immediacy.
In context — John 4:23
But the hour is drawing near—and now is here—when authentic worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, because the Father seeks people like these who worship Him.
