Revelation 22:20 Meaning He Who Testifies These Things Says
He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
What does Revelation 22:20 mean?
The coming spoken of is not an arrival from the sky but the awakening of God within the individual, and it comes quickly because it breaks in suddenly when the time is ripe. The Lord Jesus called for is your own human imagination, and its coming is the moment you know yourself as the source of your world.

MANIFESTATION
Manifestation
The coming spoken of is not an arrival from the sky but the awakening of God within the individual, and it comes quickly because it breaks in suddenly when the time is ripe. The Lord Jesus called for is your own human imagination, and its coming is the moment you know yourself as the source of your world. You began as God and you end as God, and this is that end announced.
The drama closes when humanity, fused into a single being, wakes in you and calls you Father. Every desire you have formed and sent out returns to this. The one who testifies and the one who comes are the same self, meeting itself at last. What you have been awaiting was never outside you. It rises from within as your own imagination, and that is who was coming all along.

Live Revelation 22:20 today
- Sit for three minutes with no phone and stop waiting for anything. Just be the awareness that is here, and let that be enough for the length of three minutes.
- When someone tells you about something they are hoping for, do not just sympathize. Help them feel it as already done, and let yourself feel it with them.
- In the middle of a hard stretch, drop the sentence I am waiting for this to change and replace it with a picture of it already changed. Carry that picture through the rest of the hour.
What have you been waiting to arrive that is sitting here already?

Zen
Awakening arrives suddenly, though it ripens slowly, the way fruit falls in an instant after a whole season of growing.
Sufism · Rumi
You have been knocking from the inside all along. The one you were waiting at the door for was never on the other side of it.
Hinduism · Upanishads
What you are looking for is the looker. The search ends not in finding something new but in recognizing what was doing the searching.
