59. Revelation 2:5
Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. [kjv]
The "
quickly" in the previous verse is not is some Greek manuscripts.
60. Revelation 2:5
KJV: Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Greek: μνημονευε ουν ποθεν εκπεπτωκας πεπτωκες και μετανοησον και τα πρωτα εργα ποιησον ει δε μη ερχομαι σοι ταχ ει και κινησω την λυχνιαν σου εκ του τοπου αυτης εαν μη μετανοησης
61. Revelation 2:16
KJV: Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Greek: μετανοησον ουν ει δε μη ερχομαι σοι ταχυ και πολεμησω μετ αυτων εν τη ρομφαια του στοματος μου
Latin: similiter paenitentiam age si quo minus venio tibi cito et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei
Luther: Tu Buße; wo aber nicht, so werde ich dir bald kommen und mit ihnen kriegen durch das Schwert meines Mundes.
62. Rabbit trail
Let us take a rabbit trail following "
quick" to "
quicksilver", "
Mercury", the "
caduceus" to "
Asclepius", etc.
63. The quick and the dead
The Apostle's Creed contains the phrase "
to judge the living and the dead" which comes from 1 Peter 4:5 and 2 Timothy 4:1 and Acts 10:42.
1 Peter 4:5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. [kjv]
οι αποδωσουσιν λογον τω ετοιμως κρινοντι ζωντας και νεκρους [gnt]
The quick are those that are living. So, the phrase the "
quick and the dead" refers to the "
living and the dead".
64. Quicksilver
The English word "
quicksilver" can refer to chemical element number 80 known as Mercury which has the appearance of silver but is very fluid at room temperatures.
At one time, mercury or quicksilver was called "
hydrargrum", from which the chemical abbreviation "
Hg" derives.
Hydrargrum as mercury is from the Latin word
"hydragrum" ≈ "mercury" which comes from the ancient Greek word
"ὑδράργυρος" ≈ "mercury".
Hydrargrum as mercury is from the Latin word
"hydragrum" ≈ "mercury" which comes from the ancient Greek word
"ὑδράργυρος" ≈ "mercury" and which literally means "
water silver" which is from two ancient Greek words..
- "ὕδωρ" ≈ "water".
- "ἄργῠρος" ≈ "silver" which is related to the Latin word "argertum" ≈ "silver" and is the source of the chemical element abbreviation "Ag" for silver and the source of the name "Argentina".
Mercury thermometers contain small amounts of Mercury. Mercury is poisonous in various ways.
65. Hermes and the Caduceus
The name of the chemical mercury comes from the Roman god Mercury who was a speedy messenger for the gods, particularly the main god Jupiter.
The Greek name for the Roman god Mercury is Hermes. Hermes is known as the god of commerce, oratory, deception, marketing, etc.
The Roman god Mercury or the Greek god Hermes travels around and carries the caduceus consisting of two snakes around a pole.
66. Hermes
The Roman god Mercury is the Greek god Hermes from the ancient Greek word
"Ἑρμῆς" ≈ "Hermes, Mercury" the messenger of the gods who is related to commerce, deception, etc. The modern Greek word
"Ερμής" (EHr-MEES) ≈ "Hermes, Mercury".
Hermes is considered the inventor of language and speech - as both an interpreter and a deceiver. Such language could lead to truths or to non-truths.
67. Doctors
Interestingly, the symbol used by doctors is the caduceus. Note that doctors (are supposed to) take the Hippocratic Oath (seriously) in protecting the patient. In modern times, however, the insurance companies take no such oath.
68. Nurses
The symbol used by nurses is that of Asclepius, the healing snake around a pole.
69. Asclepius
Interestingly, the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, etc., had a healing snake (on a pole).
70. Healing snake
One such healing serpent, or snake, appeared with Moses in the desert.
Jesus reminds Nicodemus about this in John 3:14-15.
71. John 3:14
KJV: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Greek: και καθως μωσης μωυσης υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτως υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
Latin: et sicut Moses exaltavit serpentem in deserto ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis
Wessex: aend swa swa moyses þa neddre up ä-hof on þam westene. swa ge-bereð þaet mannes sunu beo up a-hafen.
Wycliffe: And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid,
Tyndale: And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp
Spanish: Y como Moisés levantó la serpiente en el desierto, así es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado;
72. Adders and nadders
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: [kjv]
και καθως μωυσης υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτως υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου [gnt]
… neddre … [wes]
The Old English word "
naeddre" was a "
snake". The leading "
n" dropped off to yield "
adder" as a snake. That is, "
a nadder" became "
an adder".
- The Old English word "naeddren" ≈ "snakes" shows the presence of the leading "n".
- The Middle English word "edder" ≈ "snake" shows the dropping of the leading "n" from Old English.
We see this use of "an neddre" to "
an adder" starting in the Wessex Gospels in John 3:14.
73. John 3:14
KJV: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Greek: και καθως μωσης μωυσης υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτως υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
Latin: et sicut Moses exaltavit serpentem in deserto ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis
Wessex: aend swa swa moyses þa neddre up ä-hof on þam westene. swa ge-bereð þaet mannes sunu beo up a-hafen.
Wycliffe: And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid,
Tyndale: And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp
Spanish: Y como Moisés levantó la serpiente en el desierto, así es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado;
74. John 3:15
KJV: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Greek: ινα πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εν αυτω εχη ζωην αιωνιον
75. Barnabas and Paul
In Acts 14:11-12, the people attribute god-like attributes to Barnabas and Paul.
- Barnabas as Roman "Jupiter" or Greek "Zeus".
- Paul as Roman "Mercury" or Greek "Hermes".
These important gods were used as names of planets.
76. Jupiter
The Greek god Zeus in Latin is Jupiter or, literally "
Zeus father" which is very similar linguistically to Japheth, the son of Noah whose generations span much of what is today the area of
PIE (Proto Indo-European) languages.

77. Acts 14:11
KJV: And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
Greek: οι δε τε οχλοι ιδοντες ο εποιησεν ο παυλος επηραν την φωνην αυτων λυκαονιστι λεγοντες οι θεοι ομοιωθεντες ανθρωποις κατεβησαν προς ημας
78. Mercury
Mercury was the messenger and spokesperson for the gods so Paul gets this association.
79. Acts 14:12
KJV: And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
Greek: εκαλουν τε τον μεν βαρναβαν δια τον δε παυλον ερμην επειδη αυτος ην ο ηγουμενος του λογου
80. Mecurial
In the software engineering field, Mecurial is a distributed version control system. The logo uses the idea of mercury as quicksilver.
Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool. It efficiently handles projects of any size and offers an easy and intuitive interface. From the Mecurial web site at

81. Revelation
The Roman god Mercury (or Greek god Hermes) traveled quickly, but let us return quickly (and soon as in right now) to Revelation and the issue of "quickly" versus "soon".
82. Revelation 3:11
KJV: Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Greek: ιδου ερχομαι ταχυ κρατει ο εχεις ινα μηδεις λαβη τον στεφανον σου
Greek today: Ιδου, ερχομαι ταχεως κρατει εκεινο το οποιον εχεις, δια να μη λαβη μηδεις τον στεφανον σου.
Latin: venio cito tene quod habes ut nemo accipiat coronam tuam
Wycliffe: Lo! Y come soone; holde thou that that thou hast, that no man take thi coroun.
Tyndale: Beholde I come shortly. Holde that which thou haste that no man take awaye thy croune
Luther: Siehe, ich komme bald! Halte, was du hast, daß niemand deine Krone nehme!
Slavonic: Се, гряду скоро: держи, еже имаши, да никтоже приимет венца твоего.
Russian: Се, гряду скоро; держи, что имеешь, дабы кто не восхитил венца твоего.
Spanish: He aquí, yo vengo pronto; retén lo que tienes, para que ninguno tome tu corona.
The Spanish word
"pronto" ≈ "quickly".
The German word
"bald" ≈ "soon, near in time".
The Russian word
"скоро" ≈ "soon".
The Russian word
"скорый" ≈ "fast, quick, rapid".
83. Revelation 11:14
KJV: The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Greek: η ουαι η δευτερα απηλθεν ιδου η ουαι η τριτη ερχεται ταχυ
Latin: vae secundum abiit ecce vae tertium veniet cito
Wycliffe: The secounde wo is gon, and lo! the thridde wo schal come soone.
Tyndale: The seconde woo is past and beholde ye thyrd woo wyll come ano
Luther: Das andere Wehe ist dahin; siehe, das dritte Wehe kommt schnell!
Slavonic: Горе второе отиде: се, горе третие грядет скоро.
Spanish: El segundo ay es pasado; he aquí, el tercer ay viene pronto.
84. Revelation 22:6
KJV: And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Greek: και ειπεν μοι ουτοι οι λογοι πιστοι και αληθινοι και ο κυριος ο θεος των αγιων πνευματων των προφητων απεστειλεν τον αγγελον αυτου δειξαι τοις δουλοις αυτου α δει γενεσθαι εν ταχει
Greek today: Και ειπε προς εμε Ουτοι οι λογοι ειναι πιστοι και αληθινοι και Κυριος ο Θεος των αγιων προφητων απεστειλε τον αγγελον αυτου, δια να δειξη εις τους δουλους αυτου τα οσα πρεπει να γεινωσι ταχεως.
Latin: et dixit mihi haec verba fidelissima et vera sunt et Dominus Deus spirituum prophetarum misit angelum suum ostendere servis suis quae oportet fieri cito
Wycliffe: And he seide to me, These wordis ben moost feithful and trewe. And the Lord God of spiritis of prophetis sente his aungel, to schewe his seruauntis, what thingis it bihoueth to be don soone.
Luther: Und er sprach zu mir: Diese Worte sind gewiß und wahrhaftig. Und Gott, der Herr der heiligen Propheten, hat seinen Engel gesandt, zu zeigen seinen Knechten, was bald geschehen muß.
85. Revelation 22:7
KJV: Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Greek: και ιδου ερχομαι ταχυ μακαριος ο τηρων τους λογους της προφητειας του βιβλιου τουτου
Latin: et ecce venio velociter beatus qui custodit verba prophetiae libri huius
86. Revelation 22:12
KJV: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Greek: και ιδου ερχομαι ταχυ και ο μισθος μου μετ εμου αποδουναι εκαστω ως το εργον εστιν αυτου εσται
Latin: ecce venio cito et merces mea mecum est reddere unicuique secundum opera sua
87. Revelation 22:20
KJV: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Greek: λεγει ο μαρτυρων ταυτα ναι ερχομαι ταχυ αμην ναι ερχου κυριε ιησου
Greek today: Λεγει ο μαρτυρων ταυτα Ναι, ερχομαι ταχεως. Αμην, ναι, ερχου, Κυριε Ιησου.
Latin: dicit qui testimonium perhibet istorum etiam venio cito amen veni Domine Iesu
88. Shortly
The primary issue appears to be at the beginning of Revelation in 1:1 and at the end of Revelation chapter 22 verse 6 as "
shortly" and verses 7, 13 and 20 as "
quickly".
The two primary verses, then, at issue are the following, at the beginning and end of Revelation.
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: [kjv]
22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. [kjv]
The following excerpts show the essential words.
- Revelation 1:1 ... things which must shortly come to pass ...
- Revelation 22:6 ... things which must shortly be done.
89. Word slide
In Revelation, the Greek word for "
quickly" when through Latin and eventually became "
shortly". One explanation goes as follows.
The Greek word "
ταχύς" for "
quickly" and, depending on context, could sometimes mean "
soon" was translated to the Latin word "cito" which could mean "
quickly" or "
soon", more so than the Greek. Other languages used this idea to use the word "
soon" rather than "
quickly".
90. Red flag
One red flag is that many modern Greek translations change the word for "
quickly" to the word for "
shortly" even though the original Greek word has not changed meaning nor spelling - just ending inflections.
91. Other languages
That this happened in other languages (e.g., Old Church Slavonic to modern Russian) tends to indicate that some "confirmation bias" was involved in that the meaning of these passages had already been assumed.
92. Confirmation bias
A confirmation bias is a bias of accepting only facts that agree with what you have already decided is true and ignoring other facts.
That is, one accepts only new information that confirms what one already believes or has heard, etc. You can ignore facts that you do not know about (ignorance of the law) or ignore things in order to deceive others (and yourself).
A confirmation bias can be encouraged by the use of "
cherry picking" information to view or accept.
93. Prophesy of church history
The book of Revelation has the letters to the seven churches right after the introduction.
One view of these letters is that they have a secondary meaning as a prophecy of some two thousand years of church history.
 |
Details are left as a future topic.
|
Keep in mind that this prophecy (if valid) is like a linear combination approximation in mathematics (or fuzzy logic approximation) in that all of the letters to the churches are valid at all times, but some letters tend to have more realization in certain periods of time than others.
If in fact these letters to the seven churches have such a prophetic meaning, then some of the controversy between "
quickly" and "
soon" is resolved since that church history had already started so that would be very "
soon" indeed.
94. Declarative models
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [kjv]
και ειπεν ο θεος γενηθητω φως και εγενετο φως [lxx]
When you "
declare" something, like the "
Declaration of Independence", you state that something is what you want it to be.
A
declarative model of a system is a model that describes the
what of a system but not the
how or
why of a system.
- The declarative part of what the system does is (often) explained in a model without getting into details of ordering of subparts of the system.
- The control part of how the system does it and the order in which things are done is not (usually) explained in a model.
This distinction made is made in computer science and software engineering (and other areas).
95. Revelation as a declarative model
The book of Revelation appears to have many characteristics of a declarative model in general and a declarative constraint model in particular.
Thus, unless clear from context, it may not be wise to assume time orderings on the events described.
Even when John says something to the effect that "then this happened" may not mean that the events have a time ordering as written. One must study the text and the context very carefully.
96. How soon is quick?
97. Philippians 2:24
KJV: But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
Greek: πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι
The
KJV translates as "
I trust" what might be better translated as "
I am confident" as in a firm belief.
The word translated here as "
shortly" can be misleading.
- The modern Greek word "γρήγορα" (GHREE-go-ra) ≈ "quickly, rapidly".
- The modern Greek word "ταχέως" (ta-KHEH-os) ≈ "quickly, rapidly", but sometimes, in a given context, can also mean "soon". The word "tachometer" measures how rapidly or quickly the engine pistons are running.
- The modern Greek word "σύντομα" (SEEN-to-ma) ≈ "soon".
98. Acts 24:4
KJV: Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
Greek: ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομως τη ση επιεικεια
99. 2 Peter 1:14
KJV: Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
Hebrew: באשר ידעתי כי מהר יעתק משכני כאשר גם גלה לי אדנינו ישוע המשיח׃
Greek: ειδως οτι ταχινη εστιν η αποθεσις του σκηνωματος μου καθως και ο κυριος ημων ιησους χριστος εδηλωσεν μοι
Latin: certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Iesus Christus significavit mihi
Wycliffe: that the putting awei of my tabernacle is swift, bi this that oure Lord Jhesu Crist hath schewid to me.
Luther: Denn ich weiß, daß ich meine Hütte bald ablegen muß, wie mir denn auch unser HErr JEsus Christus eröffnet hat.
The ancient Greek word
"σκηνώματι" (skee-NO-ma-tee) ≈ "body as in live-in tent" is a combination of tent and body.
The modern Greek word
"σκηνώματα" (skee-NO-ma-ta) ≈ "sketch".
The modern Greek word
"δήλωση" (THEE-lo-see) ≈ "declaration" is similar in meaning to ancient Greek.
100. Peter and time
It has been almost 2,000 years since Revelation was written. If the events have not happened yet, is that "soon".
Peter has something to say about time as viewed by man and as viewed by God.
101. 2 Peter 3:8
KJV: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Greek: εν δε τουτο μη λανθανετω υμας αγαπητοι οτι μια ημερα παρα κυριω ως χιλια ετη και χιλια ετη ως ημερα μια
102. God and time
God is eternal and outside of time and the constraints of time as we know it.
The idea of "
soon", as in a few days from God's point of view could be thousands of years from man's point of view.
Peter then indicates that God wants to provide enough time so that no one is without excuse.
103. 2 Peter 3:9 Make way for repentance
Peter tells us that the Lord is not
"slow" but will delay coming to give all a chance to
"make way" to
"repent" as in an
"after thought". When it happens, it will happen "
quickly".
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [kjv]
ου βραδυνει κυριος της επαγγελιας ως τινες βραδυτητα ηγουνται αλλα μακροθυμει εις υμας μη βουλομενος τινας απολεσθαι αλλα παντας εις μετανοιαν χωρησαι [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"βραδύνω" ≈ "make slow, delay" which comes from
"βραδύς" ≈ "slow" and which is the opposite of
"ταχύς" ≈ "quick" which, depending on context, might mean "
soon".
The ancient Greek word
"χωρέω" ≈ "give way, make way". Those described should
"give way" or
"make way" for
"repentance". The Greek word for
"repentance" means, literally, to
"think after" what one is doing.
"Repentance" starts in the mind. There is another Greek word for "
change what you are doing".

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
παλιν αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εαν δυο συμφωνησωσιν εξ υμων επι της γης περι παντος πραγματος ου εαν αιτησωνται γενησεται αυτοις παρα του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις [gnt]
Ματθαίον 14:20 και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων δωδεκα κοφινους πληρεις [gnt]
16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? [kjv]
ουπω νοειτε ουδε μνημονευετε τους πεντε αρτους των πεντακισχιλιων και ποσους κοφινους ελαβετε [gnt]
The essential issue can be put into a form of a matrix.
Clement, an early church father, in Clement 1, part 23.5 has the following (underline added) in a section explaining why the things described have not yet happened. Here is the translation by Holmes (underline added).
Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, [kjv]
ο δε κυριος προς αυτον αναστα πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται [gnt]
Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. [kjv]
ο φαρισαιος σταθεις ταυτα προς εαυτον προσηυχετο ο θεος ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγες αδικοι μοιχοι η και ως ουτος ο τελωνης [gnt]
