"EN" is not the word in question. "Tachos" is. And EN is only a preoposition that prefixes the term TACHOS which makes the english word IN HASTE in the sense of time. You are wrong from the very start, Bro Strange. You are taking the term EN and definining it and finding how it is used elsewhere in the New Testament. But that is totally incorrect. You must take the COMBINATION OF "EN TACHOS" and THEN find the ways the word is used. So your entire argument is severely flawed to begin with.
The greek is actually "EN TACHOS".
And every time those two terms are used together, with preoposition EN prefixing TACHOS, we find HASTE in the sense of TIME.
Here are ALL the places the two terms are used together. EN is designated by Strong's number 1722, and TACHOS is Strongs' number 5034. We must find instances of the greek term where BOTH WORDS ARE INDICATED by 1722 and 5034. YOU HAVE NOT DONE THAT.
Notice that in Rev 1:1 as well as all the cases of the same terms used that I indicated before, you read the TWO NUMBERS TOGETHER 1722 and 5034. THAT IS the necessary combination we require in order to CORRECTLY assess the meaning of SHORTLY. What Brpo Strange has done was to take ONLY THE PREFIX and try to find how it is used, when the very definition of the term SHORTLY says the ter,m "EN" is only a
preoposition!!!
Bro Strange ONLY TOOK THE PREFIX "EN" from the entire term "EN TACHOS".
Revelation 1:1 uses the greek terms "en tachei" (TWO TERMS TOGETHER) and translates the COMBINATION OF THEM as "SHORTLY".
It is severe error to only take the preposition "EN" and neglect to maintain the term "TACHOS".
Here are ALL the verses in the entire New Testament that use the COMBINATION of the two greek terms that Bro Strange failed to realize are the only verses we can use.

When you said that Mary's pregnancy was associated with the term EN, you SHOWED YOUR ENTIRE ERROR OF REASONING! "EN" IS NOT THE TERM IN AND OF ITSELF THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING. WE ARE DISCUSSING "EN TACHOS". I do not think you deceived anyone, as you claim I did, but you are severealy unaware of the Greek preposition EN only PREFIXING TACHOS. So in order to properly represent the meaning of the words SHORTLY, you cannot just take EN, but must take the COMBINATION OF "EN TACHOS" together. AND IN EVERY CASE it is a matter of TIME ALONE that is the issue.
There are no other words in the entire New Testament that use the same combination of EN and TACHOS together than what I have shown above. And anyone can see quite plainly that in each and every case of the COMBINATION OF TERMS, the sense is most definitely TIME.
TRY AGAIN.
