ヨハネの黙示録 22:1-19 JCB

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 22:17

22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say: Come! And let him that hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come and let him who wishes take the water of life without price. There are two different interpretations of this passage. H. B. Swete takes the first two parts as an appeal to Christ to fulfil his promise and come quickly back to this world; and he takes the third part as an invitation to the thirsty soul to come to Christ. But it seems very improbable that there should be such a... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 22:18-19

22:18,19 I give this warning to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book. And, if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. There are certain things to note about this solemn warning. (i) It is not to be interpreted with absolute literalness. It does not refer... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:1

And he showed me a pure river of water of life ,.... Not baptism, which used to be administered in rivers and pools of water; and which engaged to purity of life; and, the power and authority of administering which was from God and Christ; but in this Jerusalem state there will be no use nor need of ordinances; for Revelation 22:1 belongs to the preceding chapter, and is a continuation of the same account, this being not a new vision, but a part of the former, which the same angel, as in ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:2

In the midst of the street of it ,.... That is, of the city described in the preceding chapter, which shows that this vision belongs to that, and is a continuation of it, and which street was all of pure gold, Revelation 21:21 and on either side of the river was there the tree of life ; not that it stood either in the midst of the street of the city, which being a pavement of gold, a tree could not well stand there; nor on both sides of the river, which is impossible, unless the tree... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:3

And there shall be no more curse ,.... As there was in Eden, from whence a river came, and where was a tree of life; for there the serpent cursed for his concern in man's transgression, and the earth on account of it; but in this new earth, and paradisiacal state, and on the inhabitants of it, will be no curse; here will be no sin, the cause of the curse, nor pain and sorrow, nor death, corporeal, spiritual, and eternal, or the wrath of God, the several effects of sin, and parts of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:4

And they shall see his face ,.... The face of God, so as he is not to be seen now; they shall see him as he is; not only the angels, who always behold the face of God, but all the saints, risen and changed, being pure in heart, and perfectly holy; they shall see him face to face, they shall have intimate and familiar communion with him; they shall enjoy his favour, and have the freest and largest discoveries of his love; and they shall see the face of the Lamb; they shall behold Christ and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:5

And there shall be no night there ,.... This is repeated from Revelation 21:25 to express the certainty of it, and to observe, that the happiness of this state will greatly lie in the light thereof; it will be one everlasting day, ημερα αιωνος , "day of eternity", or eternal day, as in 2 Peter 3:18 and they need no candle, nor the light of the sun ; neither artificial nor natural light; neither the dimmer light of the ceremonial law, under the legal dispensation, which was like a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:6

And he said unto me ,.... That is, the angel that talked with him, and showed him the above things: these sayings are faithful and true ; not only what are delivered in particular concerning the new Jerusalem state, in which are many things new, and unheard of before, and which may seem strange, and even incredible, but all that are written in this book, Revelation 22:7 all which are "faithful"; to be believed by all that read them, and in the fulfilment of which the faithfulness of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:7

Behold, I come quickly ,.... These are the words not of the angel, but of Christ, as is manifest from Revelation 22:12 and which are to be understood not of Christ's coming in his power to destroy Jerusalem, for this was past when John had these visions, and wrote this book; but of the second and personal coming of Christ to judgment, as is clear from Revelation 22:12 which though it will not be sooner than the time appointed, yet will be as soon as that time is come, and sooner than is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:8

And I John saw these things, and heard them ,.... He was both an eye and an ear witness; some things he saw, and others he heard; and to render his testimony the more authentic, he puts his name to it; and he being an apostle of Christ, and a man of great sincerity and probity, is to be believed. And when I had heard and seen ; the things related in this book, being amazed at them, and filled with joy on account of many of them, and firmly believing the whole as coming from God: I... read more
