REV 1:1 '...The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John...'
If GOD cannot tell time, then HE is not GOD.
If the prophecy said SOON and it did not happen SOON then it was not prophecy.
IMHO
How soon is soon in the ages?
Maybe HE meant soon as in when your heart makes its last beat?
The Israelites were told they would be in Babylonian Captivity for a long time.............. 70 years!
Daniel was told to 'seal up his book' because it was for a long time off. It was UNSEALD by Jesus day, a little over 500 years. John was told NOT TO SEAL up the Revelation.........
Hananiah and Pelatiah, died early because they prophesied falsely about GODs TIME table for the Israelites, they said the captivity would be SHORT not LONG............
The letters, books, epistles were written to MEN that understood the concept of time.............
If we cannot trust HIM on time statements, all of them, not just some, how can we be sure of GRACE!?!?!?
IMHO........
