If you’ve ever read Jesus say “I am coming soon” — and then looked at a calendar 2,000 years later — you’ve probably wondered: What does “soon” actually mean?
In this episode, I tackle one of the most common questions people have about the Bible. Was Jesus mistaken? Did the early church get it wrong? Or is “soon” just a relative word that means something different to God than it does to us?
We’ll look at four keys from the Old Testament prophets that unlock the mystery of prophetic time — including the prophetic telescope, the “already but not yet,” and why “soon” actually means certain, not necessarily imminent.
If you’ve ever struggled with the timing of Bible prophecy — or felt confused by passages about the sun going dark and the moon not giving its light — this 10-minute reflection will help you see what “soon” really means, and why it’s actually more comforting than a date on a calendar.
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” – Habakkuk 2:3
