This word is used to add a sense of swiftness or urgency to various statements, from describing the arrival of Jesus Christ in Luke 2:38 (Mary responds, "Behold, from now on all ages will call me blessed... for the Mighty One has done great things to me, and holy is His name; and His mercy to those who fear Him from generation to generation, He does visit the lowly one, He does send rich one down His arm in strength from Abraham to us." And the child grew and became strong, the Holy Spirit filled and age after age they talked about her, saying 'blessed is this one, whom the Mighty One has visited. Because she believed that which the Lord has spoken to her and that His name is the Lord.'), to the impending arrival of judgment in Matthew 3:2 and Mark 1:3. The significance of ταχέως to a general audience lies in its ability to add a sense of anticipation and expectation to various declarations.
