Revelation 22:7 KJV
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
There are three times in this one chapter that Jesus says "I come quickly;"
Verse 7
Verse 12
Verse 20
I only know one really great application for that statement and that is that Jesus is coming quickly! John Gill's notes say, "....though it will not be sooner than the time appointed, yet will be as soon as that time is come, and sooner than is generally expected by men."[1]
It is a spiritual discipline to train oneself to keep looking for the Lord's return. We do not know the day nor the hour, but we do know it will be quickly.
What a blessed hope!
What a joy to the soul!
What thoughts of rest and peace!
Even so come, Lord Jesus.
