Verse 37
For yet a very little while, he that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
This is a partial quotation from Habakkuk 2:3 which reads, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." The import of this exhortation is that whatever may seem to tarry, as viewed by people, it is not really so at all. God's will moves inexorably to the fulfillment of his eternal purpose. Delay, from the human standpoint, is not delay at all from the viewpoint of God. His will is certain of accomplishment. The blessed Saviour will surely return. If it shall seem to people that Christ's return is delayed, let them remember that the final day, the consummation of all things, the judgment and overthrow of the wicked - all these are every moment nearer than ever before.
