Exegesis
It is followed by the articular participial phrase he erchomene basileia {ἡ ἐρχομένη βασιλεία | hē er-kho-mé-nē ba-si-leí-a}, where the article plus present middle participle he erchomene modifies basileia, yielding the sense “the kingdom that is coming.” This entire noun phrase acts as the grammatical subject of the understood copula (“is”), with eulogemene as the predicate nominative.
