ヨハネの黙示録 22:1-19 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:9

Then saith he unto me ,.... The angel at whose feet John fell down to worship: see thou do it not ; this he said in great haste, and with much vehemence, to hinder him from doing it, as his short way of speaking shows: for I am thy fellow servant : of God, and of Christ, and am no more the object of worship than thyself; and both of us are, and ought to be, the worshippers of God, whose servants we are: and of thy brethren the prophets ; the apostles and ministers of the word;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:10

And he saith unto me ,.... Not the angel, but Christ, as is manifest from Revelation 22:12 . This clause is left out in the Ethiopic version. Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book ; as the orders are, when things are intended not to be published, but concealed, at least as yet, because of the distance of the accomplishment of them, which was not the case here; see Revelation 10:4 . Christ would have the things John saw and heard, written, and made public, sent in an open... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:11

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still ,.... These words are not to be considered as ironical expressions, such as in Ecclesiastes 11:9 much less as an allowance to do injustice and commit filthy actions; nor even as deterring persons from these things, by tacitly suggesting, that should they continue unjust and filthy, they would be severely punished; nor as an anticipation of an objection that might be made against the publication of this book, and the sayings of it, taken from the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:12

And, behold, I come quickly ,..... This is repeated, to confirm the truth of Christ's second coming, and the speediness of it, and to point at the time when the above shall be, and to add what follows. And my reward is with me : which words are taken out of Isaiah 40:10 and which being compared together, furnish out a clear proof of Christ being the true Jehovah, the eternal God. There is a reward of debt, or a due reward, a reward of punishment, which is the just recompense of reward,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:13

I am Alpha and Omega ,.... See Gill on Revelation 1:8 . These characters are all put together here, which are before used in Revelation 1:8 and are very pertinently mentioned in this place, when all promises and prophecies, relating to the glorious kingdom of Christ, were just finishing, and that itself was ready to appear, in which Christ alone should be exalted, the mystery of God would be completed, and time itself be no more. The Ethiopic version adds, "the beginning and end of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:14

Blessed are they that do his commandments ,.... Either the commandments of God, Revelation 12:17 the precepts of the moral law, which are the whole duty of man; which are done either legally in order to obtain life, and then they must be perfectly done, which no man can do; hence none live, and are justified by the deeds of it, and consequently are not blessed, but cursed; or evangelically, when they are done in the strength of Christ, from love to God, in the exercise of faith upon him,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:15

For without are dogs ,.... That is, without the holy city are such persons who are comparable to dogs for their filthiness, impudence, and voraciousness, as are persecutors, heretics, and apostates, Matthew 7:6 . Some think Sodomites are intended, as in Deuteronomy 23:18 . So Abarbinel and others interpret the law; and who abound in the Roman jurisdiction, called therefore Sodom, Revelation 11:8 and indeed all wicked men, who will be cast out into outer darkness, may be signified... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:16

I Jesus have sent mine angel ,.... As John, the writer of this book, sets down his own name, who was an eye and ear witness of the things contained in it, that they might be more surely believed, Revelation 22:8 so Christ, the author of it, puts his name Jesus to it, to engage the greater attention to hear and read, and keep the words of it, as well as to make it plain and manifest, who is the person speaking of his coming, Revelation 22:7 and who that has any value for Jesus the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:17

And the Spirit and the bride say, come ,.... Hearing Christ say that he should come quickly, Revelation 22:7 the Spirit and the bride express an earnest wish, and a most affectionate desire after his coming: by "the Spirit" may be meant the Spirit of God in the hearts of his people, who not only convinces them of, and acquaints with the coming of Christ to judgment, and gives them reason to expect it, but fills their souls with the love of his appearance, so that they look and long for it,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:18

For I testify to every man ,.... These are not the words of a scribe, who having wrote out a copy of this book, added the following adjuration to it, to deter persons from adding to it, or diminishing it; for the book is not yet finished, and both Christ and John speak after this; and to insert such a passage into the text would be a bold and daring action; nor are they even the words of John, the inspired writer of it, but of the Lord Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, as appears from ... read more
