tachu marks prompt action or an event presented as near at hand in the supplied New Testament passages.

The term most often marks an announced development as close at hand, particularly the coming third woe or a stated coming in Revelation. In the remaining passages, its accusative singular neuter form occurs with prompt movement, instruction, or the limited interval before someone can speak evil.

1. An event presented as near · dominant

   The adverbial form occurs in announcements: in Revelation 11:14 the APB renders the third woe as “coming soon,” and in Revelation 22:7, Revelation 22:20, Revelation 2:16, and Revelation 3:11 it renders a coming as “coming soon” or “coming quickly.” These clauses present the announced event as imminent rather than describing a completed human action.

2. Promptness in action or response · common

   The accusative singular neuter form occurs where movement or speech is framed in terms of promptness. In John 11:29 the APB renders the response as rising and coming “quickly”; in Matthew 28:7 and Matthew 28:8 it renders the command and departure with “quickly”; and in Mark 9:39 it places the interval before speaking evil in the clause rendered “able quickly to speak evil.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies between “quickly” for prompt actions and “soon” or “coming quickly” for announced events. These renderings confirm the verse-level presentation without establishing separate English equivalents for every occurrence.
