This is a spotlight on the Scriptures: Revelation 22:20-21 Pt 2. He who testifies to these things says, “Surely, I am coming soon. "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
Well, that was almost two thousand years ago that He said, “Surely I am coming soon.”." But we all want to say, “Lord it has been two thousand years”. Peter said, "In the last days there will be scoffers that will come along and saying where is the promise of His coming? Since our fathers have fallen asleep everything has gone on as it was from the beginning"(2Pe_3:3). "You know, he is not coming back? Foolishness. Jesus is coming again; Scoffers will tell you that you are a fool. Where is the promise? Things are just going to go on and on and on. There is not going to be any interruption in history.
But Peter said, "God isn’t slack concerning His promises," that is the promise of the coming, "as some men count slackness." But he said, "You need to consider that one day is as a thousand years to the Lord and a thousand years is as one day"(2Pe_3:8). We say it has almost been almost two thousand years. Well, the Lord says, "It has only been a couple of days. "Behold, I come quickly."
How, soon is He coming for you? We don’t know; do we? But I do believe that the time of the return of Jesus Christ is very, near. Listen the statement of a thousand years, and of a day, is chosen by way of showing, that in relation to who he is, His Being, and existence, He is the one who occupied eternity, all calculations of time lose their very meaning. I AM, that I AM which is the Lord’s unique name, renders past, present, and future to Him, but as one of the eternal now. And this should not be forgotten by the people of God, that it is the eternity of his nature, and the unchangeableness of his purpose, His counsel, His will, and pleasure, which gives life and success to all his promises in Christ.
And so, I do believe that the day of the Lord is at hand. And I, with John, would respond, "Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus."
Oh, how my heart yearns for the Lord to come and establish His kingdom. How I desire to see the New World, the new age with Jesus' reigning as King and Lord.
Listen to John’s final parting words and the closing words of the Bible. How fitting.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. So be it. (Rev_22:21)
Isn’t that beautiful? What a glorious way to end this glorious book. Just the gift of God’s grace or the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ upon you. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ rest or be upon or be with all of you. "So be it."
