He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
—Revelation 22:20
A “COMING SOON!” announcement often precedes an exciting event.
The goal is to create anticipation and excitement for what is going to happen.
The “COMING SOON” sense of immediacy permeates the entire book of Revelation.
Three times in the final chapter, the Lord says, “I am coming quickly” (Rev. 22:7,12,20).
How can this be?
2,000 years have elapsed since these words were written.
“Quickly” doesn’t seem appropriate for our experience of time.
Rather than focusing on a date for His return, the Lord is urging us to set our hearts on His promise that will be fulfilled.
We are called to live for Him in this present age “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).
Let us live as if the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back today.
