I would think so. I assume the hHMERA DIAUGASHi is the apocalyptic day of
the Lord mentioned in 2 Pet 3:10ff and that Peter is exhorting his readers
to pay heed to the Scriptures *until* that day. This appears to be the
meaning of hEWS hOU, at least this is the way it appears to be used in other
parts of the GNT, for example Matt 1:25; 17:9 and Luke 24:49. Best regards,
Tony Costa
