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.”

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.”  
14 aBlessed are those who1 do His commandments, that they may have the right bto the tree of life, cand may enter through the gates into the city.

Revelation 22:10

Seal not—But in Daniel 12:4, Daniel 12:9 (compare Daniel 8:26), the command is, "Seal the book," for the vision shall be "for many days." The fulfilment of Daniel's prophecy was distant, that of John's prophecy is near. The New Testament is the time of the end and fulfilment. The Gentile Church, for which John wrote his Revelation, needs more to be impressed with the shortness of the period, as it is inclined, owing to its Gentile origin, to conform to the world and forget the coming of the Lord. The Revelation points, on the one hand, to Christ's coming as distant, for it shows the succession of the seven seals, trumpets, and vials; on the other hand, it proclaims, "Behold, I come quickly." So Christ marked many events as about to intervene before His coming, and yet He also says "Behold, I come quickly," because our right attitude is that of continual prayerful watching for His coming (Matthew 25:6, Matthew 25:13, Matthew 25:19; Mark 13:32-37 [AUBERLEN]; compare Revelation 1:3).
