For still the vision awaits its appointed time;Reread the verse understanding that it is talking about judgment. There verse is a scary verse to read. God's plan for judgment will come and it will accomplish. Starting in verse 6, 4 "Woe to him" against the army that God is building up for judgment of Israel.
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.
Though this is for a particular people, it still speaks today. God has promised a final judgment of the wicked and of the saints. His judgment will not terry. Like a thief in the night, so will God come in judgment. That is why Paul tells his readers that today is the day of salvation. These verse should also drive us to start witnessing our faith. We do not know the day that Christ will return. We cannot share the gospel with people in hell so the time is now. Even when the apostles were focus on Christ's kingdom, he told them to be His witness throughout the land. That is the same call today. Will you go?
