Question:
In what reasonable amount of time in years, would His coming then become a delay or tarry, this scripture says He will NOT tarry and will NOT delay? 2000 + years?
People's New Testament commentary
And he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Soon Christ will come, either in person or by his providence, in such a way as to bring relief. He did thus come very soon after and ended Jewish persecution by the overthrow of the nation. This is a frequent sense of oft-repeated allusions to the coming of the Lord found both in the Old Testament and New Testament. See
Hab 2:5-20. The passage there quoted refers to the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, and
is here applied to the destruction by the Romans.
