Revelation 22:19 NIV

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Revelation 22:1-21

Revelation 22:1 You are seeking your own will, my daughter. You are seeking some other good than the law you are bound to obey. But how will you find good? It is not a thing of choice: it is a river that flows from the foot of the Invisible Throne, and flows by the path of obedience. Savonarola to Romola, in George Eliot's Romola. Revelation 22:1 'Clear as crystal' not concealing, but revealing. For in the day of eternity all faithful children shall be as that Father of the faithful of whom... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:6-21

CHAPTER XVIII.THE EPILOGUE.Revelation 22:6-21.THE visions of the Seer have closed, and closed with a picture of the final and complete triumph of the Church over all her enemies. No more glorious representation of what her Lord has done for her could be set before us than that contained in the description of the new Jerusalem. Nothing further can be said when we know that in the garden of Paradise Restored into which she is introduced, in the Holy of holies of the Divine Tabernacle planted in... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 22:1-21

The River of Water of Life and the Tree of Life The description of the city continues to the end of verse 5 of this chapter. The city is blessed with a river of the water of life proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb (v. 1). Being clear as crystal, it speaks of the pure, unadulterated truth of the Word of God continually bringing its blessing of refreshment to the city by the power of the Holy Spirit. The city is the means of conveying that blessing to the renewed earth. God and... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:1-21

THE SEVEN NEW THINGS The seven “new things” are the new heaven, earth, peoples, city, temple, luminary, and paradise. The “introduction” in this case covers the first two, the new heaven and the new earth (Revelation 20:1-8 ). Observe the sequence of events suggested by Revelation 20:1 : In the present time, we have the church, in the Millennium will be the kingdom, and after that the new world where God shall be all in all (see 1 Corinthians 15:23-28 ). Man’s soul is redeemed by... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 22:6-19

6-19 The Lord Jesus spake by the angel, solemnly confirming the contents of this book, particularly of this last vision. He is the Lord God faithful and true. Also by his messengers; the holy angels showed them to holy men of God. They are things that must shortly be done; Christ will come quickly, and put all things out of doubt. And by the integrity of that angel who had been the apostle's interpreter. He refused to accept religious worship from John, and reproved him for offering it. This... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 22:1-99

Revelation 22 WE HAVE ALREADY seen that there is no temple in the heavenly city inasmuch as God and the Lamb are the Temple of it. The opening verse of chapter 22 shows that the throne of God and the Lamb is there, and this is again stated even more definitely in verse Rev_22:3 . Out of the throne proceeds the water of life like a flowing river. No earthly throne not even the best of them has proved itself to be a fountain of life. Their rule has been too oppressive or too weak, or their... read more
