Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus
Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his
servants things which must shortly come to
pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his
servant John:
Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me,
These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of
the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his
servants the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation 2:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown.
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth
the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be.
20 He which testifieth these things
saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so,
come, Lord Jesus.
Does “shortly” imply a timespan
relative to the perspective of the servants?
Does “quickly” imply that when he does
come, it will occur nearly instantaneously, like
lightning does?
