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

John Gill

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

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:8

And I John saw these things, and heard them ,.... He was both an eye and an ear witness; some things he saw, and others he heard; and to render his testimony the more authentic, he puts his name to it; and he being an apostle of Christ, and a man of great sincerity and probity, is to be believed. And when I had heard and seen ; the things related in this book, being amazed at them, and filled with joy on account of many of them, and firmly believing the whole as coming from God: I... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 22:8

I fell down to worship - I prostrated myself before him as before a superior being, to express my gratitude, and give him thanks for the communications he had made. See on Revelation 19:10 ; (note). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

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

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

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
