BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY
22. August 2008 by admin.
The expression “Behold, I come quickly” is mentioned four times in Revelation (3:11; 22:7,11, 20). It refers first of all, to His coming in God’s perspective. It must be interpreted by God’s clock, not ours. Please read 2 Peter 3:8.
Elsewhere in the New Testament Christ’s coming is described as soon (Lk. 18:8; Rom 16:20). To God, a thousand years is as a day or even less than a day.
In Isaiah 54:8 he told Israel, “In a little wrath I hide my face from thee for a MOMENT; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD, thy Redeemer.” Since the beginning of time, to God that is but a moment because he measures things by eternity.
The quick coming of the Lord also refers to the certainty of his coming, meaning that it is not preceded by specific signs and could happen at any time (Matt. 24;42, 44; 25:13; Phil. 4:5; I Thess. 1:9,10; Titus 2:12,13; Jam. 5:8,9). The faithful child of God is “not in the darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief” (1 Thess. 5:4). God has not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thess. 5:5).
