Revelation 22:10

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:6-21

22:6-21 CONCLUSIONJohn concludes his book by stressing that his visions have come from God and are trustworthy. They are given not to help people work out a timetable of future events, but to strengthen Christians so that they will be obedient and not forsake Christ simply to escape persecution (6-7). There is an added warning not to get over-excited because of the visions, but to respond by offering fitting worship to God (8-9).A special word of advice is then given for persecuted believers.... read more

And he saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book ... "The contents of John's prophecy have a twofold perspective.[50] "Some of the events foretold are to occur many centuries in the future";[51] but parts of Revelation deal with events that confront John's generation.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 22:8-21

Revelation 22:8-21. John saw these things, and heard, &c.— St. John testifies himself to have been the person who saw and heard these things; and in his extasy falling into the same mistake which he had committed, ch. Rev 19:10 he is gently corrected in the same manner by the angel; who orders him, Rev 22:10 not to seal up this prophesy, as Daniel's was (ch. Revelation 12:4-9.); for the time is at hand;—some of the particulars would very soon be accomplished, as indeed all would in their... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:10

10. Seal not—But in Daniel 12:4; Daniel 12:9 (compare Daniel 12:9- :), the command is, "Seal the book," for the vision shall be "for many days." The fulfilment of Daniel's prophecy was distant, that of John's prophecy is near. The New Testament is the time of the end and fulfilment. The Gentile Church, for which John wrote his Revelation, needs more to be impressed with the shortness of the period, as it is inclined, owing to its Gentile origin, to conform to the world and forget the coming of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 22:10

John received instruction from the angel to leave his book open. He was not to close it because the fulfillment of the events predicted was near, and people needed to be aware of them (cf. Revelation 1:11). God had told Daniel to seal his prophecy, evidently because there was more prophecy to come (Daniel 8:26; Daniel 12:4; Daniel 12:9-10; cf. Revelation 10:4). As an artist covers his work when it is under construction until it is complete, so God covered His picture of the future until He... 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.
