How Are We to Understand the Meaning of “Quickly”?

"Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Revelation 22:20

How Are We to Understand the Meaning of "Quickly"?
Let us be impressed with the fact that it is the Lord Himself who is speaking, it is not even an apostle delivering a message from Him; the words are His own. "I will come again," He says in John 14:3; "I am coming quickly," He says in the Revelation. They are His last words to us. If we grasp the fact that they are His own words to those He loves, we shall begin to understand them with the heart.

Let me illustrate. A mother must leave her children for a while. As she bids them farewell she says, "I'll be back soon," and if she has the opportunity of sending them a message, the burden of it is, "I'll see you soon." If she writes a letter to them, instructing them as to what to do during her absence, she does it with the words, "I'm coming quickly." Why? Because she knows that there is a great yearning in those young hearts; they won't be fully happy and satisfied until they see their mother again, and she knows that no word that she could send them will be more prized by them. But there is another and a deeper reason. Her children are in her heart; she yearns for them; nothing will satisfy her but having them with her again, and nothing will hinder her from hastening to them when her business is done; she will not tarry then. It is thus, we believe, with the Lord. The "quickly" is in His heart; He will not tarry a moment longer than is necessary (Heb. 10:37).

Do we understand that? Unless we have left our first love, we shall understand it and we shall cherish these last words of His to us, and continually in our hearts there will be this response: "Even so, come, Lord Jesus!"

CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

Besides discouragement, another weapon Satan uses often against believers is their weaknesses. He simply studies an individual for a period of time and not long after, he identifies the fellow's weakness and capitalizes on it. Take for instance Peter. Satan discovered that Peter is a cowardly person-lacking in...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More

SATAN INTIMIDATES

When Goliath came to the battlefield, he took the form of a big problem but he later became a big opportunity. He came as a mighty obstacle but turned into a mighty door of opportunity when God stepped in. Every giant who stands in your way this season shall become a door to your breakthrough in Jesus' Name.
