Hebrews 10:38
"“In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait."
Key Reflection
For the original audience of Hebrews, this verse would have been deeply resonant as it alludes to the imminent return of Jesus Christ. The reference to “in a very little while” and “he who comes will come and will not wait” likely echoes the prophetic language found in Daniel 10:12, where God reassures Daniel that his words are being heard and that he is coming soon. This promise of swift fulfillment was meant to encourage believers facing persecution and trials, assuring them of Christ’s imminent return and their eventual salvation.
