F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 22:1-99

Revelation 22 WE HAVE ALREADY seen that there is no temple in the heavenly city inasmuch as God and the Lamb are the Temple of it. The opening verse of chapter 22 shows that the throne of God and the Lamb is there, and this is again stated even more definitely in verse Rev_22:3 . Out of the throne proceeds the water of life like a flowing river. No earthly throne not even the best of them has proved itself to be a fountain of life. Their rule has been too oppressive or too weak, or their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Revelation 22:10-15

Christ's announcement as to sharing in the blessings of heaven: v. 10. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. v. 11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still. v. 12. And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. v. 13. I am... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Revelation 22:6-21

SPECIAL DOCTRINO-ETHICAL AND HOMILETICAL NOTES (ADDENDUM)Section Twenty-SecondThe Epilogue. (Revelation 22:6-21)General.—The Johannean character of the Epilogue of the Revelation has already been dwelt upon. A depth of meaning and a festalness of mood, conjoined with a somewhat indefinite expression, or a mysterious form, are peculiar to this section as well as to the Epilogue of the Gospel; and the fundamental thought which animates them both is an earnest longing for the Coming of the Lord.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 22:10-21

“Come, Lord Jesus” Revelation 22:10-21 Still , four times repeated, implies the crystallization and permanence of character. The rewards mentioned here are for the faithful service of Christ’s stewards, as in Matthew 25:21 . For the fourth time, He who began the book and closes it, uses of Himself the divine monogram of Alpha and Omega, Revelation 1:8 ; Revelation 1:11 ; Revelation 21:6 . In the Authorized Version the way to the tree of life was opened to those who kept the commandments,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:1-21

Still gazing at the city, the seer beheld the great river of water of life. On its banks is the tree of life, yielding fruit, and leaves for the healing of nations. And once more the apostle declares there shall be no more curse. The great unveiling is accomplished. It ended with the declaration of the established Throne, and of the unending reign of the saints. What follows is of the nature of ratification and enforcement. The divine word concerning the authority and value of the book is... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 22:1-21

The Marriage of the Lamb Revelation 19:1-10 ; Revelation 21:1-27 and Revelation 22:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Old Testament analogies of the coming Marriage in the skies. It is not difficult to find, in both the Old and the New Testaments, delightful foreshadowings of the coming Heavenly nuptials. (1) There is the first marriage in Eden. Eve was the bride typical of the Bride of Christ. Observe the following: Adam was put to sleep; Christ was put to sleep. Adam's side was opened; Christ's... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 22:13

The Central Messages of the Book. ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.’ Compare Revelation 1:9; Revelation 1:17; Revelation 2:8; Revelation 21:6. The book begins and ends with the fact that Father and Son sum up all things in themselves. All things come from them, all things proceed to them. God is all in all. The assumption must be, as with all first person statements in this epilogue (from Revelation 22:10 to Revelation 22:17), that these words... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 22:1-21

THE RESTORED PARADISE, AND THE EPILOGUECRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHE first five verses complete the description of the new heavens and new earth. There is evident reference in the figures of the tree of life and the river that flows by the trees, to the first and forfeited paradise. The Epilogue is brief, but pertinent and impressive. The angel-guide and interpreter reassures the seer that all which has been disclosed is certain; and he repeats what was said in the prologue to the book... read more
