The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:8-10

Glimpses through the barrier: revelation. "And I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship," etc. These verses bring under our notice two or three very suggestive circumstances, which we shall merely state in the briefest; manner. I. ETERNAL REALITIES BROUGHT TO THE CONSCIENCE OF INDIVIDUAL MAN . "And I John am he that heard and saw these things," etc. "I John," the beloved disciple of Christ. "I myself heard and saw... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:10

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. The visions being now complete, St. John is commanded to communicate them to the world (cf. Revelation 10:4 , where a contrary direction is given). The last sentence is again a repetition of the assertion of the shortness of this our time of preparation (cf. on verse 7). The revelation deals not with events far distant in the future, but with those immediately present; for this reason the... read more

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still; he that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still, etc. (Revised Version). These words seem to be used ironically, as was sometimes the case with the prophets (cf. Ezekiel 3:27 ; Ezekiel 20:39 ). The intention seems to be to stir men up to a realization of the nature of their conduct in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:11

Permanency of character: a sermon for the closing year. These very solemn words have been used again and again to illustrate and enforce the lessons of this great truth of permanency of character—the fact that after a while character becomes fixed, stereotyped as it were, and therefore unalterable; so that he that is unrighteous remains unrighteous still, and, thank God, he that is holy remains holy still. But this is not their true meaning, though by their form and sound they seem to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:11

Moral character becoming unalterable. "He which is filthy, let him be filthy still." Detaching these words from the context, they suggest the dawning of a crisis in human history when moral character becomes unalterable. Notice— I. THAT THE MORAL CHARACTER OF MAN SOMETIMES BECOMES UNALTERABLE BEFORE DEATH . There is reason to believe that this crisis occurs in this world. We find in the Bible, for example, such expressions as, "My Spirit shall not always strive... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:12

And, behold, I come quickly. Omit "and" (cf. Revelation 22:7 , Revelation 22:10 , etc.; see also on Revelation 22:11 ). Note also that once more the words are spoken as by Christ himself (cf. Revelation 22:7 ). And my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be; as his work is, according to the best authorities. This is one of the fundamental truths enforced throughout the book; cf. the epistles to the seven Churches ( Revelation 2:5 , Revelation 2:10 ... read more

The day of recompense. "My reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." It is related of Daniel Webster, the regality of whose moral endowment no one disputes, that when once asked what was the greatest thought that had ever occupied his mind, he replied, "The fact of my personal accountability to God." And yet this thought is one not frequently present in men's minds, because it is one that is but little welcome. The very phraseology of the text, its several... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:12-15

Three facts in the moral empire of God. "Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is," etc. These words suggest to our notice three supreme facts in the moral condition of mankind—the requital, the beatified, and the execrable. I. THE REQUITAL . "Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is." "When the light of the world shines fully forth, then will each man be found to... read more
