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.
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.”
Jesus Testifies to the Churches
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and aMy reward is with Me, bto give to every one according to his work.

What Does Revelation 22:6 Mean?
Revelation 22:6-7
This is reminiscent of Isaiah 55:11: "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void [margin: empty, without fruit], but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." When God speaks a prophecy, it will be fulfilled because He will bring it to pass!
