How much time do we have listening to the phrase: “Christ is coming soon”? The truth is that for many believers this has been a lifelong message, something we have heard since childhood, something that has echoed in sermons, songs, teachings and conversations. Yet, despite being such a repeated truth in the church, there are many ignorant people who mock or judge this phrase simply because Christ has not yet returned. They treat this precious promise as if it were an empty expression, forgetting that the Bible affirms it clearly and repeatedly. We must remember that God’s time is not the same as ours, His mind does not operate like our human way of thinking, and the time factor does not apply to God in the way it applies to us. For that reason, we must cling to the promise, believe it, embrace it with faith and perseverance, and through this article we invite you to keep that faith alive, as vibrant as the very first day you heard and believed those powerful words.
The Bible says:
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Revelation 22:12-14
Our first verse to consider directly says: “Behold, I come quickly.” Can you believe that? Christ truly comes soon, and it is worth believing in that promise and waiting for Him with joy. His return is not an empty hope; it is a guaranteed reality affirmed by the One who cannot lie. It is a waiting filled with promise and purpose. He comes with His reward, ready to give to each person according to their works. And if we are hidden in Him, if we walk faithfully in His Word and keep our garments clean, then we have nothing to fear. His coming will not take us by surprise, for we are expectant, longing for His appearing, desiring that glorious moment when faith becomes sight and hope becomes reality. Every Christian who loves His return understands that these words should echo in our hearts every moment of our lives.
After this great declaration, Christ reminds His church that He is eternal, that He has no beginning or end. He identifies Himself as the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. These words affirm His deity, His sovereignty, and His supremacy over all creation. Nothing escapes His control, and the entire history of humanity rests within the palm of His hands. He is not delayed; He is fulfilling His perfect plan.
Finally, dear brothers, in the last verse He tells us that blessed are those who wash their robes, for they will have the right to the tree of life and will enter through the gates into the city. This speaks of holiness, perseverance, and fidelity. It is our responsibility to continue believing, obeying, and keeping our garments undefiled in a world that constantly seeks to stain and distract us. To wash our robes every day means to remain in repentance, in faith, in obedience, trusting that Christ’s blood cleanses us from all sin. Those who do so are blessed—truly blessed—not because of earthly riches or temporary comfort, but because they are heirs of eternal life.
Brothers, Christ comes soon. Let us keep our lamps lit, our hearts firm, and our hope alive. The promise stands, and the One who promised is faithful.

Behold, I come quickly
==================
The coming of the Lord shall be for joy and bliss to ones and for terror and deep anguish to others; because when the Lord Jesus Christ comes, all people will see him. Some will try to flee from Him and cry that mountains might cover them, by the sight of the Lord; but that will be useless because the angels of the Lord will take them to the presence of the Judge.
“all that that are in the graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth; for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection” of damnation. {John 5:28-29)
In the second coming of the Lord, he will judge all people which are in the graves, on the earth or wherever they may lie dead—even in the deep seas, or from the remains left by men, animals or fish if they were devoured by them. None of all people of all ages, nor any of us, will be able to escape, as the Lord said:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
Revelation 22:12-14
The children of God, those that have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, they will not fear the coming of the Lord: their hope will be fulfilled, their Lord will be with them, with us. But those who have not received Him, those who are not hoping his coming, will be fearful of his coming, at the time he comes.
The days of mercy and warnings shall be over, the Lord God will judge people of all race and nation according to their works. Therefore, today is the day of salvation…
“While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts…” (Hebrew 3:15)
Then, it is good for you and me to look for the Lord Jesus Christ now, while he can be found, if we do not want to come to the resurrection of damnation.
May the Lord God have mercy on you and me, so that we can be raised from the dead to life
on the day of his coming.
AMEN.
