Be patient and establish your hearts for the Lord's abiding presence is within your reach. The coming that is spoken of here is literally the abiding presence (The Greek, parousia, is a two part word: along side & goods or property). When something is at hand, you can put your hand on it.
James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the Lord's [literal: abiding presence] is within reach.
Theologians often confuse the return of Christ with His parousia, his abiding presence.
parousia abiding presence: Parousia, Often Translated As Coming But Literally Meaning Abiding Presence
Bible Study: Parousia, The Abiding Presence Of Jesus
Not see death?: Doesn't the Bible say that some of those alive at Jesus' time would not see death until they saw His Kingdom and His coming in glory?
