Oop. I just discovered this.
So it looks like that passage in Revelations 22 doesn't provide an escape clause for the claim that Jesus would be coming "real soon now."
Quote:"Look, he is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see him, even those who pierced him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of him." So shall it be! Amen.
Revelations 1:7 (emphasis mine)
