[Reformed_Baptist]

If, as you assert, τάχος, means must shortly come to pass, then we missed the tribulation, the return of Christ and the Millennium.

Nope - it means we would have missed what assume to be the tribulation and the millennium. The reality is that the bible presents these two things as concurrent periods of time that began with the incarnation and will end with the return of the Lord Jesus Christ - so we are in them now!

Now, I don't expect you to just take my word for that - you won't

But it is interesting to note that when ever one talks about this type of thing one is only ever met with assertions and not careful biblical exegesis!

There is another understanding of this passage; once these things begin to occur, they will occur in a very short time, they will occur quickly.

That only works if rob words of their actually meanings doesn't it?

That, or as I said, we have missed everything including the New Heavens and New Earth.

Why those only two options? Why I am not allowed to have a say (or why is the bible not allowed to speak) but rather be fitted into one of two pigeons holes that will accept.

Rev 1:1 is an allusion back to Dan 2 where Daniel interprets the dream therefore we take our queue for what 'shortly' means from that passage not from 19th century western rationalism.
