UNDERSTAND what "come quickly" means:
When Jesus says, "Behold, I come quickly," the original Greek word for "quickly" is "ταχύ" (tachy), which can be understood as both "soon" and "swiftly" or "suddenly." This can be compared to the concept of a tachometer in a car, which measures the speed at which the engine is turning. As the engine revs up, the speed increases until it reaches a point of sudden action. Similarly, this phrase can be seen as describing the acceleration of events leading up to the Rapture and the 7-year Tribulation.

Key Verses:

1. *Revelation 22:7*
- "Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."
- The word "quickly" in this verse suggests a sudden or rapid occurrence. Just as a tachometer shows increasing speed, the events leading to Christ's return may intensify until they reach a critical point, resulting in His sudden appearance.

2. *Revelation 22:12*
- "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
- Here, "quickly" indicates that when Christ comes, it will happen swiftly. This is akin to the tachometer reaching a high point and the action occurring without delay. The period of grace and warning leads to a moment of sudden fulfillment.

3. *Revelation 3:11*
- "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
- The idea of coming "quickly" here emphasizes the need for readiness, as the moment of Christ's return will be sudden, just as a car's engine quickly reaches a high RPM and then something decisive happens.

The Concept of Acceleration:
- *Matthew 24:8*
- "All these are the beginning of sorrows."
- This verse speaks of the "beginning of sorrows" or birth pains, which increase in frequency and intensity. This is similar to the idea of a tachometer's needle rising—events leading up to the Rapture and Tribulation will intensify.

The Suddenness of the Rapture:
- *1 Corinthians 15:52*
- "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
- The suddenness of the Rapture is akin to the tachometer reaching its peak, where the change happens instantaneously, without any further warning.

- *1 Thessalonians 4:16-17*
- "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
- The Rapture is an event that will occur quickly, reflecting the tachometer's revving up and the suddenness with which the event takes place.

Conclusion:
The phrase "Behold, I come quickly" in its original Greek context conveys a sense of urgency and suddenness. The tachometer analogy illustrates how the events on God's timeline—such as the Rapture and the subsequent Tribulation—are accelerating toward a swift and decisive culmination. Just as the tachometer’s needle rises quickly to indicate an impending action, so too does the prophetic timeline rev up, signaling the imminent return of Christ.
