He Will Not Tarry

For yet a little while, he that shall come will come 

and will not tarry (Heb. 10:37).

"For yet a little while--how short, how short" (literally) is

an excerpt from Isaiah 26:20. The conjunctive particle GAR

expresses both explanation and continuation through docu--

mentation from the Old Testament Scriptures. While Isaiah's

prophecy pertained to the Second Advent of Christ, the appli-

cation concerns the brevity of our time on earth and the short-

ness of the dispensation which will terminate with the Rapture

of the Church.

God has allotted to each of us a certain amount of time on

earth after salvation.Whatever length it is may seem by human

standards-- is a short span in the light of  eternity.
