Exegesis
Hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the content of what must be recognized: engys estin {ἐγγύς ἐστιν | en-gýs é-stin}, with the adverb placed first for emphasis, followed by hē basileia tou theou {ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ | hē ba-si-leí-a toû the-oû} as the subject of the copula. The discourse moves from sign, to inference, to eschatological conclusion, preserving the Greek emphasis on proximity.
