Revelation 22:10
Compare all
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.  
13 aI am the Alpha and the Omega, the1 Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

Revelation 22:10

And he saith unto me (kai legei moi). The angel resumes as in Revelation 19:9.

Seal not up (mh sfragishv). Prohibition with mh and the ingressive first aorist active subjunctive of sfragizw. Charles takes this to be the command of Christ because in verses Revelation 22:7, Revelation 22:18 "the words of the prophecy of this book" come from Christ. But that is not a conclusive argument, though Charles, as already stated, rearranges these chapters to suit his own notion. Once only (Revelation 10:4) was John directed to seal and not to write. See there for discussion of sfragizw. This book is to be left open for all to read (Revelation 1:3; Revelation 13:18; Revelation 17:9; Revelation 22:7, Revelation 22:18).

At hand (egguv). As in Revelation 1:3.
