ヨハネの黙示録 22:4 JC

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:1-5

Life in the holy city (21:22-22:5)No temple is needed in the city, because God is everywhere. Lights, whether natural or artificial, are unnecessary, because God’s glory fills every place (22-23). Other cities close their gates at night to prevent possible enemy attacks, but this city never closes its gates, because there is no night and no enemy. People of all nations inhabit the city, adding colour and splendour, yet there is complete purity, because sin is excluded (24-27).Although the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 22:4

and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads.And they shall see his face ... This is a privilege that man has never had, not even the saints of the Old Testament; but the final joys of the redeemed shall surpass all the joys of the Old Covenant.And his name shall be on their foreheads ... God's "mark" will be upon his children eternally; and this must be understood in the sense of their bearing a spiritual likeness to Christ and God. "The supreme felicity (of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 22:1-5

Revelation 22:1-5. And he shewed me a pure river, &c.— The first five verses of this chapter are a continuation of the description of the new Jerusalem. It is farther described with the river of life, and the tree of life, Rev 22:2 as if paradise was restored and improved. A river flowing through the midst of the streets, and trees growing on either side of the river, are wonderfully pleasing and agreeable objects, especially in the hot eastern countries. Of the fruits there is such plenty,... read more

4. see his face—revealed in divine glory, in Christ Jesus. They shall see and know Him with intuitive knowledge of Him, even as they are known by Him (1 Corinthians 13:9-12), and face to face. Compare 1 Timothy 6:16; John 14:9. God the Father can only be seen in Christ. in—Greek, "on their foreheads." Not only shall they personally and in secret (Revelation 3:17) know their sonship, but they shall be known as sons of God to all the citizens of the new Jerusalem, so that the free flow of mutual... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 22:1-5

The restoration of Paradise 22:1-5Essentially what John saw next was Paradise regained (cf. Revelation 2:7; Genesis 2; Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 12:2). Having viewed the splendor of the New Jerusalem he now saw what will nourish and enrich the lives of God’s people there."Up to this chapter, the New Jerusalem seems to be all mineral and no vegetable. Its appearance is as the dazzling display of a fabulous jewelry store; we wonder if there is no soft grass to sit upon, no green trees to enjoy,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 22:4

God’s bond-servants will see God’s face; we will enjoy personal, intimate fellowship with Him. We will be able to do this because we will be pure in heart, righteous, and holy then (cf. Psalms 11:7; Psalms 17:15; Matthew 5:8; 1 Corinthians 13:12; Hebrews 12:14). Adam and Eve’s sin broke their fellowship with God, and they hid from Him (Genesis 3:8; cf. Exodus 33:20; Exodus 33:23). Our ability to view God’s glory is limited now (cf. Job 19:25-27; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Hebrews 9:7), but then it... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 22:1-21

The Vision ended. The Lord is at HandThe inner life of the heavenly Jerusalem is described. Then the ’Revelation’ closes with the repeated assurance that Christ is at hand, and with the yearnings of the Church and of St. John for the joy of. His advent.1-5. In the New Jerusalem, the blessed life of Eden is more than restored. There is a river of life (cp. Genesis 2:10), i.e. the Holy Spirit: cp. John 4:14; John 7:37.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 22:3-4

(3, 4) And his servants shall serve him . . .—We turn from the city to the inhabitants. They are described as serving Him, seeing Him, and resembling Him. They shall serve Him: they shall offer Him the service of the priesthood—the word employed is that used of temple service. The word translated “servants” is the word which the Apostles used when they spoke of themselves as slaves of Jesus Christ, owned as well as employed by Him (Philippians 1:1; 2 Peter 2:1; Jude 1:1). Their service here was... read more

Revelation 22:1 You are seeking your own will, my daughter. You are seeking some other good than the law you are bound to obey. But how will you find good? It is not a thing of choice: it is a river that flows from the foot of the Invisible Throne, and flows by the path of obedience. Savonarola to Romola, in George Eliot's Romola.
