Revelation 22:10-11. And he saith unto me After a little pause; Seal not the sayings of this book Conceal them not, like the things that are sealed up; for the time is at hand When they shall begin to take place. He that is unjust Or unrighteous; that is, who lives and dies unjustified, let him be unjust, or unrighteous, still For after death his state can admit of no change, he that is filthy Unholy, unsanctified, and dies in that condition; let him, that is, he shall be,... read more

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

He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still.He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still ... Apparently, John recognized that this prophecy would complete the New Testament, providing the finality of God's revelation to man. That having been completed, "No greater power could be brought to bear upon them before... read more

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 22:11

11. unjust—"unrighteous"; in relation to one's fellow men; opposed to "righteous," or "just" (as the Greek may be translated) below. More literally, "he that doeth unjustly, let him do unjustly still." filthy—in relation to one's own soul as unclean before God; opposed to holy," consecrated to God as pure. A omits the clause, "He which is filthy let him be filthy still." But B supports it. In the letter of the Vienne and Lyons Martyrs (in EUSEBIUS) in the second century, the reading is, "He... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 22:11

The angel gave John this warning to pass along because the time is near (Revelation 22:10). This is a strong warning not to put off becoming a believer in Jesus Christ. It presents the hopelessness of the final state of unbelievers. When Christ comes, people will not be able to change their destiny. What they are then they will remain forever. People should not expect some second chance in the future but should make the decision about worshipping God now in the light of what they have read in... 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. Cp. also Ezekiel 47:1; Joel 3:18; Zechariah 14:8, in which prophecies the... read more
