I am working on the first 2 lines of Revelation and trying to see if γενέσθαι ἐν τάχει, can be interpreted to mean "to show all things in brief" rather than the commonly interpreted "things which must shortly take place"
Thanks

Greek NT: Revelation Chapter 1
1:1 ἀποκάλυψις ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτῶ ὁ θεός, δεῖξαι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι ἐν τάχει, καὶ ἐσήμανεν ἀποστείλας διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ τῶ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ ἰωάννῃ,
