OTOH, the EDNT notes that:
" the Q church understood Jesus' exorcism healins to be individual
breakthroughs of God's dominion over the demon-plagued generation that
preceded the end "
Harrington [ The Gospel of Matthew. Sacra Pagina 1. Collegeville, MN:
Liturgical Press, 1991.] considers that " the verb 'ephthasen' is much
bolder than 'engiken' "
Gundry [ Matthew: A Commentary on His Literary and Theological Art. Grand
Rapids: Eerdmans, 1983.] writes:
" on EFQASEN as indicating arrival, not just near approach, see G.E. Ladd
"The Presence of the Future" (Eerdmans 1974 ) pp, 138-45
