Um, no. At least not anyone that I know would say that. “Is coming” would be correct. Start at verse 12 and see the distruction is already happening. It’s not just about to happen as in your example of the meteor.


If the meteor is about to crash into the earth and obliterate it TODAY, I’d say “the day the earth is to be destroyed has come”.

6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Another important distinction is that, though Revelation includes chronologies of events, it is not in chronological order. Rather, it is more like the four gospels all in one book, each one telling the same story but emphasising different things.

I would like to see your scriptural source for that belief.
