Revelation 22:6

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.”

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.”

10 ^aAnd he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, ^bfor the time is at hand.

11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him¹ be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

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.

1.The angel affirms the truth of all that had been spoken, Revelation 22:6-11.

2.Jesus Christ confirms what has been affirmed, and pledges himself for the fulfillment of all the prophecies contained in it, Revelation 22:12-17.

3.John cautions his readers against adding or diminishing, and concludes with the apostolical blessing, Revelation 22:18-21.

The things which must shortly be done - There are many sayings in this book which, if taken literally, would intimate that the prophecies delivered in the whole of the Apocalypse were to be fulfilled in a short time after their delivery to John; and this is a strong support for the scheme of Wetstein, and those who maintain that the prophecies of this book all referred to those times in which the apostle lived, and to the disturbances which then took place, not only among the Jews, but in the Roman empire. What they all mean, and when and how they are to be fulfilled, God in heaven alone knows.
