I Come Quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

Revelation 22:5 completes the description of New Jerusalem and the blessings in it. Then this divine record continues to the Lord’s words in 22:7, “And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this scroll.”

New JerusalemThe Lord says twice more “I come quickly” (v. 12, 20). We must say, “amen” to His speaking. In our human concept we might think He has not come quickly but this is His word.

Revelation 19:7, “Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” Matthew 25:10, “those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast.”

His coming depends on our readiness. Do not think you are ready for His coming. Even Paul, as a mature Christian, was still pursuing, seeking more of the Lord; read his words in Philippians 3:12-14.

We cannot make ourselves ready by our own effort but we need to cooperate with the Lord to deny ourselves, to seek Him, to pursue to gain more of Him, to love Him in incorruptibility (Eph. 6:24). This is our way to be ready for and to hasten His coming. This is our path to the wedding feast and to New Jerusalem.
