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

Probably the angel relayed these words of Christ (cf. Revelation 22:12-13) to John (cf. Revelation 16:15). Jesus Christ promised to return soon (cf. Revelation 22:12; Revelation 22:20; Revelation 3:11). Reconstructionism (dominion theology) and preterism refer this imminence to the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. [Note: See Chilton, The Days . . ., p. 575; and Kenneth L. Gentry Jr., Before Jerusalem Fell, pp. 142-45.] The Greek word translated "quickly" (tachy) means "soon." The Second Coming is... 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.

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.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Revelation 22:7
(7) Behold, I come quickly.—The words of Christ Himself follow (perhaps quoted by the angel), to confirm the declaration of the last verse. These confirming words are an embodiment of the spirit of the whole Apocalypse. And behold I am coming quickly! The Apocalypse is the revelation of the coming One; it reveals the dealings of Him who came, who comes, and is to come. (Comp. Note on Revelation 1:4.) The blessing given in Revelation 1:3 is in part repeated here, but it is a benediction... read more

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?

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

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 22:7
And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.And behold, I come quickly ... "It is no longer possible to believe that John had a naive attitude toward this promise."[32] He did not believe that all things in Revelation would come to pass in his generation. If so, how could he have envisioned 1,000 years before the final judgment (Revelation 20:5)? It is not John who is mixed up on this but some of the interpreters.Quickly ... can mean "soon"; but... read more
