Ready or Not, Here I Come - Rev. 22:7-17
“Look, I’m Coming Soon!” The word “soon” (taxu) means that His coming will be quick and without delay. It may not be “soon” according to human timing, even though John wrote this book nearly 2000 years ago, but it’s certain to occur, it will be imminent. In Matthew 24:42, 44; Jesus told His disciples “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” “Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
If God had given us a “specific” date, imagine how many people would have been lost or would live in sin knowing that Jesus wasn’t coming for hundreds of years. We know that He is coming for His church, and we better be ready. So, the important question is not when He is coming, but are we (you and I) ready?
