Revelation 22:12 - Exposition

And, behold, I come quickly. Omit "and" (cf. Revelation 22:7 , Revelation 22:10 , etc.; see also on Revelation 22:11 ). Note also that once more the words are spoken as by Christ himself (cf. Revelation 22:7 ). And my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be; as his work is, according to the best authorities. This is one of the fundamental truths enforced throughout the book; cf. the epistles to the seven Churches ( Revelation 2:5 , Revelation 2:10 , Revelation 2:16 , Revelation 2:17 , Revelation 2:22 , Revelation 2:26 , etc.). Similar language is found in Isaiah 40:10 ; Isaiah 62:11 . The infinitive phrase seems to be explanatory of the idea contained in the word μισθός , "reward;" the double nature of the reward being thus indicated.
