☦️ Maranatha!
Revelation 22:20-21 contains the final words of the Bible, with Jesus affirming, "Yes, I am coming quickly," followed by the Apostle John's response, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!". The passage signifies the promise of Christ's imminent return and the final blessing, stating that His grace will be with believers as they await His arrival.Jesus's final promise: "Yes, I am coming quickly" is a final affirmation from Jesus that his return is certain and will happen "soon," in a sense of suddenness rather than a specific time.
John's eager response: The phrase "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" is John's heartfelt prayer echoing the early Christian plea "Maranatha" ["Come, Lord Jesus!"] It reflects the eager anticipation and hope of believers for Jesus's return to bring an end to suffering.
The final blessing: The concluding verse, "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all," serves as a final, powerful blessing from God, assuring believers that Christ's saving and strengthening grace will be with them until His return.
