(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He said unto me (eipen moi). Apparently the same angel as in Rev 22:1 (Rev 21:9, Rev 21:15).
These words (houtoi hoi logoi). The same words used in Rev 21:5 by the angel there. Whatever the application there, here the angel seems to endorse as “faithful and true” (pistoi kai alēthinoi) not merely the preceding vision (21:9-22:5), but the revelations of the entire book. The language added proves this: “Sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass” (apesteilen ton aggelon autou deixai tois doulois autou ha dei genesthai en tachei), a direct reference to Rev 1:1 concerning the purpose of Christ’s revelation to John in this book. For “the God of the spirits of the prophets” (ho theos tōn pneumatōn tōn prophētōn) see Rev 19:10; 1Co 14:32. Probably the prophets’ own spirits enlightened by the Holy Spirit (Rev 10:7; Rev 11:8; Rev 22:9).
