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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:7

Behold, I come quickly ,.... These are the words not of the angel, but of Christ, as is manifest from Revelation 22:12 and which are to be understood not of Christ's coming in his power to destroy Jerusalem, for this was past when John had these visions, and wrote this book; but of the second and personal coming of Christ to judgment, as is clear from Revelation 22:12 which though it will not be sooner than the time appointed, yet will be as soon as that time is come, and sooner than is... read more

Behold, I come quickly (cf. Revelation 22:12 , Revelation 22:20 ; Revelation 3:11 ). The narration passes into the words of Christ himself, just as in Revelation 22:12 and Revelation 11:3 .

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:7

Behold, I come quickly - See the notes on Revelation 1:3. The words used here are undoubtedly the words of the Redeemer, although they are apparently repeated by the angel. The meaning is, that they were used by the angel as the words of the Redeemer. See Revelation 22:12, Revelation 22:20.Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book - That receives them as a divine communication; that makes use of them to comfort himself in the days of darkness, persecution, and trial;... read more

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

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.

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
