I think Christ is suggesting imminence (as another has also stated). How we treat his imminent return will be an extension of our faith and confidence in Him. For those who anticipate his coming soon - that exudes faith and confidence. For those who believe the original word [tachu] is meant to indicate “without delay”, why that, too, is indicative of a faith that believes. Others might prefer to think of his return as “sudden” (also indicated in the translation of the word). Well, that would be a sure sign of that individual’s expectation of the Lord’s promise - another sign of faith. Of cours, if one holds to the notion that He comes “quickly”, why that individual would be doing everything in their power to make sure they are at the ready.
Soon, without delay, suddenly, quickly. However, whenever He returns the believer would do well to ALWAYS be at the ready...in case the day of His return is at hand.
You and Bill Clinton can debate the meaning of “is” if you like, as that’s no different than pretending that “Soon” means “Suddenly.”
“Soon” does not mean “Suddenly.”
You are left to redefine word definitions because you have been caught lying with the original word meaning.
“Soon” does not mean “Suddenly.”
