'Near' in the Bible

A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near.

Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.

And he said to me, Let not the words of this prophet's book be kept secret, because the time is near.
