It can denote both physical speed and the urgency or promptness in carrying out tasks or commands. The concept of speed is frequently associated with diligence, readiness, and the immediacy of God's actions or the actions of His servants.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Themes:</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Speed and Intervention:</b> <br> God's ability to act swiftly is a recurring theme in Scripture. His interventions are often described as immediate and powerful. In <a href="/isaiah/46-13.htm">Isaiah 46:13</a>, God declares, "I bring My righteousness near; it is not far off, and My salvation will not delay. I will grant salvation to Zion, My splendor to Israel." This verse highlights the promptness of God's deliverance and His readiness to act on behalf of His people.<br><br>2. <b>Human Response and Readiness:</b> <br> Believers are encouraged to be swift in their obedience and service to God. <a href="/proverbs/6-6.htm">Proverbs 6:6-8</a> advises, "Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways and be wise. Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food at harvest." This passage underscores the importance of diligence and promptness in fulfilling one's duties.<br><br>3. <b>Speed in Judgment and Justice:</b> <br> The Bible also speaks of the swift execution of justice. In <a href="/ecclesiastes/8-11.htm">Ecclesiastes 8:11</a>, it is written, "When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing evil." This verse suggests that prompt justice serves as a deterrent to wrongdoing and maintains moral order.<br><br>4. <b>Metaphorical Use of Speed:</b> <br> Speed is often used metaphorically to describe the urgency of spiritual matters. In <a href="/hebrews/12.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a>, believers are exhorted to "run with endurance the race set out for us," implying a need for both speed and perseverance in the Christian life. The imagery of a race conveys the urgency and focus required in pursuing spiritual goals.<br><br>5. <b>Warnings Against Rashness:</b> <br> While speed is often portrayed positively, the Bible also warns against rashness and hasty decisions. <a href="/proverbs/19-2.htm">Proverbs 19:2</a> cautions, "Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark." This highlights the need for balance between speed and wisdom, ensuring that actions are both prompt and prudent.<br><br>6. <b>Christ's Return:</b> <br> The New Testament frequently speaks of the return of Christ with a sense of immediacy and speed. <a href="/revelation/22-12.htm">Revelation 22:12</a> states, "Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done." This promise of Christ's swift return serves as a motivation for believers to live in readiness and anticipation.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>The concept of speed in the Bible encompasses both the divine attribute of swift action and the human responsibility to act promptly and wisely. It serves as a reminder of the urgency of spiritual matters and the need for readiness in both service and anticipation of God's promises.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
