We aren't to Revelation 22, SkyPilot...much less to Revelation 22:12.

"Soon" does not yet apply.

We are not in the Tribulation yet, but I believe all the signs indicated we are very, very close.

The events of Revelation unfold with increasing frequency, starting with the seals, trumpet, and bowl judgements that become increasingly worse and horrible. Hell will literally be unleashed on earth.

The epilougue of Revelation is from the words of Christ Himself - that He is coming soon. And He is! The Rapture is first, and Jesus is coming for His bride (the true Church) to take her away before these horrific events occur on earth.

The Rapture is a signless event that can happen at any moment. That means it could happen 5 seconds after I hit the "post" button.

Christ told us to be ready, and prepared.

Scoffers tell us: They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."

2 Peter: 3-4

But Christ is coming like a theif in the night. He is coming as in the days of Noah, when destruction took over the whole world and they were not suspecting it to come.

I don't know you - but the tenor of your posts (to me) seem to be a combination of contempt for this Biblical truth, and fear that God is coming to judge and to punish. I assume that either you don't believe in Christ, or you don't believe in the pre-Tribulation Rapture.

But remember this, He is coming to those who are looking for Him (Luke 12:35-48), and those who believe His coming is our Blessed Hope (Titus 2:13).

Neither was John when inspired by the Spirit to pen Revelation 22. The word “soon” (or quickly) is to indicate no intervening event need occur for His return. Thus, the believer is to live in light of His return.

Don’t be like one of the virgins with no oil in her lamp.
