A Question on Time?

In the conclusion to His revelation about Himself Jesus Christ said the following:
 
Revelation 22:12-13 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
 
He is coming back and He is bringing reward for everyone.  He said He is coming quickly.  I take that to mean He was referring to His return happening suddenly; it will be a short-term event not a drawn-out process.  Though I can’t rule out the Lord was speaking about the length of the delay in returning being short.  I mean a few thousand years compared to the scale of forever is not much time.  I’ve come to the conclusion the reward part doesn’t get the attention it should.  He said reward will be according to each one’s work.  So, it is merit based.  The timing is out of our hands.  The best we can do is to pray it will be soon and the Bible tells us that is a legitimate prayer request. 
 
But we do have a say in how we conduct ourselves in this world.  How and what we work on is our choice.  We obey what God has said or we follow our own desires.  But what He said in V.13 gives us a pretty good reason to consider tamping down our personal desires.  Consider what Christ meant by being the beginning and the end.   He confirms the impossibility of an infinite regression which means that the entire created reality in which we live begins and ends with God.  There is nothing else. 
 
What is an infinite regression?  Let me put it in terms of time because some naturalists have proposed that the universe has always existed in some form or another.  The implication being that time extends into the past to infinity.  One problem is that we live at a particular point in time we call the present.  If there is no beginning point for time then there isn’t a point at which enough time has passed to bring us into the present.  God exists independent of time. He made time when He created the universe.  We live in multi-dimensional plane of X, Y, Z & T.  Sorry I don’t know how to draw that or I would. 
 
The Creator of everything including time is coming back one day.  All of us will give Him an accounting.  Are you ready for that?
