启示录 22:17-20 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:19

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book; from the tree of life; i.e. that mentioned in Revelation 22:2 and in Revelation 22:14 , where also the city is mentioned. Even from the things written in this book seems to be the real meaning of the last clause; not merely the tree and city which are written, etc. Just as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:20

He which testifieth these things saith —viz, the Lord Jesus, as in Revelation 22:16 — Surely I come quickly; yea, I come quickly. As the book opens, so it closes with this promise. This is the anchor and stay of the faithful, the sound of an alarm and a warning cry to the wicked. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Omit "even so." Thus in calm and patient hope the apostle answers his Lord. So the writer who delivers the message is the first to proclaim his belief in what is herein... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:20

The closing aspiration: "Come, Lord Jesus." In the homilies on Revelation 1:7 and Revelation 20:11-15 , compared with Revelation 22:12 , we have touched on the second coming of Christ. But in each case we have done so in direct pursuance of our aim of giving a homiletic exposition of the plan of the Apocalypse. Hence in one case we dealt with it as the one clue threading the entire Scripture; in another case we looked at it as bringing about the consummation of all things. In the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:20

Longing for Christ's advent. As to the expression "quickly," it is to be understood either on the principle In support of this it is to be noted that the prophecies of this book, as other prophecies, refer to classes of events, and not exclusively to any one event. Hence, wherever there is like conduct, whether good or evil, there will be like recompense. Persecuting governments, and religions upholding them, will bring down on themselves Divine judgments. Such conditions of things... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:20

Man hailing the judgment. "Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." There are four states of mind amongst men in relation to the last day. Some are indifferent to it, as were the antediluvians in relation to the Deluge; some scornfully deny it, as did the infidels in the days of Peter; some are horror stricken at it, as were the demoniacs in the time of Christ; and some welcome it, as John did now. Three things are implied in this last state of mind. I. A CONVICTION THAT SUCH A DAY ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:17

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come - That is, come to the Saviour; come and partake of the blessings of the gospel; come and be saved. The construction demands this interpretation, as the latter part of the verse shows. The design of this whole verse is, evidently, to show the freeness of the offers of the gospel; to condense in a summary manner all the invitations of mercy to mankind; and to leave on the mind at the close of the book a deep impression of the ample provision which has been... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:18

For I testify - The writer does not specify who is meant by the word “I” in this place. The most natural construction is to refer it to the writer himself, and not to the angel, or the Saviour. The meaning is, “I bear this solemn witness, or make this solemn affirmation, in conclusion.” The object is to guard his book against being corrupted by any interpolation or change. It would seem not improbable, from this, that as early as the time of John, books were liable to be corrupted by additions... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:19

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy - If he shall reject the book altogether; if he shall, in transcribing it, designedly strike any part of it out. It is conceivable that, from the remarkable nature of the communications made in this book, and the fact that they seemed to be unintelligible, John supposed there might be those who would be inclined to omit some portions as improbable, or that he apprehended that when the portions which describe antichrist... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:20

He which testifieth these things - The Lord Jesus; for he it was that had, through the instrumentality of the angel, borne this solemn witness to the truth of these things, and this book was to be regarded as his revelation to mankind. See the notes on Revelation 1:1; Revelation 22:16. He here speaks of himself, and vouches for the truth and reality of these things by saying that he “testifies” of them, or bears witness to them. Compare John 18:37. The fact that Jesus himself vouches for the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 22:17

Revelation 22:17. And the Spirit With which I inspire my servants; and the bride The church, whom I have espoused, or the Spirit of adoption in the bride, says, with earnest desire and expectation, Come And accomplish all the words of this prophecy. And let him that heareth say, Come Let every one echo the invitation; and let my people, in all ages, consider it as their duty so to do; and let him that is athirst That sincerely and earnestly desires the blessings of the gospel,... read more
