"To show his servants things which must soon come to pass.”
Yahusha orders historical truth.
S.a.tan manufactures sacred history to which the multitude succumb.
“Soon” Written over 2000 years ago presents a problem for some!
There are 4 ways of looking at it:
“Soon” is better understood to mean in the sense of suddenly, or without delay ONCE the appointed time arrives.
John could also be employing the formula of 2 Peter 3:8 one day is with יהוה as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Historically, for early believers the end of the present world-order had already begun with the resurrection of Yahusha and would be consummated with his universal recognition: every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to יהוה
“Must soon take place” in a prophectic sense the end is always imminent, time as chronological sequence is of secondary concern in apocalyptic prophecy.
