What Does Hebrews 10:37 Mean?
To strengthen their endurance, the writer points to the nearness of deliverance. In words drawn from the prophets, he assures them that it is only yet a little while; the One who is to come will come and will not tarry.
Patience grows easier when the end is in sight. The coming of the Lord is not an endless deferral but a sure arrival, and sooner than the weary heart may fear. He will not delay beyond the appointed time. For people under pressure, this is bracing hope: the season of trial is bounded, the Deliverer is on His way, and faithfulness must hold only a little longer before it gives way to joy.
