Revelation 22:5-7

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 22:1-5

The heavenly state which was before described as a city, and called the new Jerusalem, is here described as a paradise, alluding to the earthly paradise which was lost by the sin of the first Adam; here is another paradise restored by the second Adam. A paradise in a city, or a whole city in a paradise! In the first paradise there were only two persons to behold the beauty and taste the pleasures of it; but in this second paradise whole cities and nations shall find abundant delight and... read more

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 22:3-5

22:3-5 No longer shall there be any accursed thing. And the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him, and shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. And night will be no more, for they have no need of the light of a lamp, or the light of a sun, for the Lord God will be a light to them, and they will reign for ever and ever. Here is the final culmination of the description of the city of God. There will be no accursed thing there.... 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 Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:5

And there shall be no night there ,.... This is repeated from Revelation 21:25 to express the certainty of it, and to observe, that the happiness of this state will greatly lie in the light thereof; it will be one everlasting day, ημερα αιωνος , "day of eternity", or eternal day, as in 2 Peter 3:18 and they need no candle, nor the light of the sun ; neither artificial nor natural light; neither the dimmer light of the ceremonial law, under the legal dispensation, which was like a... 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

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
