Revelation 22:20

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

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Revelation 22:20

quickly. Greek. tachu, as verses: Revelation 22:7 , Revelation 22:12 . The seventh and last solemn warning by the Lord Himself, in Rev., of His coming. It is the one great subject of the whole book, which is all prophecy. Amen. See Revelation 3:14 and 2 Corinthians 1:20 . Even so. The texts omit; and link "Amen" with John's response, as Revised Version. LORD. App-98 . The use of the word "Lord" shows the utterance to be John's. None of His people, when He was on earth, were ever so... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 22:20

He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.In this terse statement, "Christ sums up the book."[92] This also has the utility of revealing Christ as the author of the two previous verses. They are Christ's words, not even John's, much less the words of some nameless scribe.Yea; I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus ... See under Revelation 22:17 for further discussion of the use of these expressions in the New Testament church. As Caird summed it up:No one... 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 22:20

20. Amen. Even so, come—The Song of Solomon (Song of Solomon 8:14) closes with the same yearning prayer for Christ's coming. A, B, and Aleph omit "Even so," Greek, "nai": then translate for Amen, "So be it, come, Lord Jesus"; joining the "Amen," or "So be it," not with Christ's saying (for He calls Himself the "Amen" at the beginning of sentences, rather than puts it as a confirmation at the end), but with John's reply. Christ's "I come," and John's "Come," are almost coincident in time; so... read more

IV. THE EPILOGUE TO THE BOOK 22:6-21In this final section of the book John reported concluding information and instructions that God gave him. He did this to comfort and caution his readers and to affirm the authority of this book."The concluding paragraphs of the Revelation sum up and press home on the reader’s conscience the foremost practical lessons of the book." [Note: Beasley-Murray, p. 334.] This section consists of verbal exchanges between an angel and John, and between Jesus and John.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 22:20

Evidently John now quoted Jesus’ promise to come soon. Christ’s promise to come soon was His response to the prayers of the Spirit, the bride, and the faithful hearers (Revelation 22:17). "He who testifies to these things" is Jesus. The things in view are the words of Jesus in Revelation 22:12-19, but beyond that everything in this book (cf. Revelation 1:2). This is the third time in this pericope that we read that Jesus Christ promised to come quickly (Revelation 22:7; Revelation 22:12). How... 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
