I Am Coming Soon?

sevensealedscrollI am coming back from a hiatus of sorts… Rest assured, I have been studying the Bible and wrestling with God (Genesis 32:24). I have a question for my readers. What did Jesus mean by “I am Coming soon” in His revelation to John (Revelation 3:11Revelation 22:7 ,Revelation 22:12Revelation 22:20)?

Considering the 2000 year wait, it is a bit perplexing  and I am wrestling with various interpretations by scholars. As a Bible believing Christian, how do you make sense of this ?

Below is some preliminary exegesis with Strong’s concordance numbers. Please comment with your thoughtful explanation.
