Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi thurais {ἐπὶ θύραις | epì thúrais} uses the metaphor of doors to indicate imminent arrival. English word order maintains the Greek’s temporal–result structure and preserves the sense of nearness.
In context — Matthew 24:33
In the same way, you also, when you see all these things, know that He is near at the doors.
