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.”  
8 Now I, John,1 saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, aI fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.  
9 Then he said to me, a“See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

Revelation 22:6

He said unto me (eipen moi). Apparently the same angel as in Revelation 22:1 (Revelation 21:9, Revelation 21:15).

These words (outoi oi logoi). The same words used in Revelation 21:5 by the angel there. Whatever the application there, here the angel seems to endorse as "faithful and true" (pistoi kai alhqinoi) not merely the preceding vision (Rev. 21:9-22:5), but the revelations of the entire book. The language added proves this: "Sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass" (apesteilen ton aggelon autou deicai toiv douloiv autou a dei genesqai en taxei), a direct reference to Revelation 1:1 concerning the purpose of Christ's revelation to John in this book. For "the God of the spirits of the prophets" (o qeov twn pneumatwn twn profhtwn) see Revelation 19:10; I Corinthians 14:32. Probably the prophets' own spirits enlightened by the Holy Spirit (Revelation 10:7; Revelation 11:8; Revelation 22:9).
