Revelation 22:6 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 22:6-19

We have here a solemn ratification of the contents of this book, and particularly of this last vision (though some think it may not only refer to the whole book, but to the whole New Testament, yea, to the whole Bible, completing and confirming the can on of scripture); and here, 1. This is confirmed by the name and nature of that God who gave out these discoveries: he is the Lord God, faithful and true, and so are all his sayings. 2. By the messengers he chose, to reveal these things to the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 22:6-9

22:6-9 And he said to me: "These words are trustworthy and true, for the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show to his servants the things which must speedily happen." "And, behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." It is I John who am the hearer and the seer of these things. And, when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who was showing them to me. And he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:6

And he said unto me ,.... That is, the angel that talked with him, and showed him the above things: these sayings are faithful and true ; not only what are delivered in particular concerning the new Jerusalem state, in which are many things new, and unheard of before, and which may seem strange, and even incredible, but all that are written in this book, Revelation 22:7 all which are "faithful"; to be believed by all that read them, and in the fulfilment of which the faithfulness of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 22:6

These sayings are faithful and true - See the preceding chapter, Revelation 21:5 . From this verse to the end of the chapter is reckoned the epilogue of this book. The angel affirms the truth of all that had been spoken, Revelation 22:6-11 . Jesus Christ confirms what has been affirmed, and pledges himself for the fulfillment of all the prophecies contained in it, Revelation 22:12-17 . John cautions his readers against adding or diminishing, and concludes with the apostolical... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:6

And he said unto me. Probably the angel who has exhibited the vision of the holy city ( Revelation 21:9 ); perhaps the angel of Revelation 1:1 . The concluding portion of the book is now entered upon; it contains a brief summary of (or rather reference to) the chief events which have been narrated, and enforces the lesson which is intended to be taught, viz. that Christians should persevere in well doing amid all persecutions, for their reward is certain, and that the punishment due to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:6

Glimpses through the barrier. God's communications to humanity. "And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true," etc. I. GOD STEAKS TO INDIVIDUAL MAN . "He said unto me [John]." Jehovah, the "God of the spirits of the prophets," is not a Being that sits mute in his universe. He speaks, and speaks to individual men. He speaks in nature. His voice is gone out through all the earth, and he speaks to human souls through nature and also through the written Word. "God, who... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:6

And he said unto me - The angel-interpreter, who had showed John the vision of the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21:9-10. As these visions are now at an end, the angel comes to John directly, and assures him that all these things are true - that there has been no deception of the senses in these visions, but that they were really divine disclosures of what would soon and certainly occur.These sayings are faithful and true - These communications - all that has been disclosed to you by symbols, or in... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 22:6-7

Revelation 22:6-7. The glory and felicity set forth in the preceding chapter, and continued in the five verses we have just considered, being great above all imagination, certain as the word of prophecy, and lasting without end, must, if duly considered, be a powerful encouragement to us, and persuasive to constancy in the profession and practice of pure Christianity, whatever difficulties or dangers may attend it. What follows, to the end, is the conclusion of the whole book, or a sort of... read more

Donald C. Fleming

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
