Revelation 22:4
Compare all
2 aIn the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was bthe tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were cfor the healing of the nations.  
3 And athere shall be no more curse, bbut the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His cservants shall serve Him.  
4 aThey shall see His face, and bHis name shall be on their foreheads.  
5 aThere shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor blight of the sun, for cthe Lord God gives them light. dAnd they shall reign forever and ever.  

The Time Is Near

6 Then he said to me, a“These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the1 holy prophets bsent His angel to show His servants the things which must cshortly take place.  
7 a“Behold, I am coming quickly! bBlessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

John Wesley's Notes

Revelation 22:4

And shall see his face - Which was not granted to Moses. They shall have the nearest access to, and thence the highest resemblance of, him. This is the highest expression in the language of scripture to denote the most perfect happiness of the heavenly state, I John 3:2. And his name shall be on their foreheads - Each of them shall be openly acknowledged as God's own property, and his glorious nature most visibly shine forth in them. And they shall reign - But who are the subjects of these kings? The other inhabitants of the new earth. For there must needs be an everlasting difference between those who when on earth excelled in virtue, and those comparatively slothful and unprofitable servants, who were just saved as by fire. The kingdom of God is taken by force; but the prize is worth all the labour. Whatever of high, lovely, or excellent is in all the monarchies of the earth is all together not a grain of dust, compared to the glory of the children of God. God "is not ashamed to be called their God, for whom he hath prepared this city." But who shall come up into his holy place? "They who keep his commandments," Revelation 22:14.
