22:10-17 In these verses Jesus summarizes the last few events of the prophecies in the book of Revelation: - The close of probation, “He that is unjust…” (vs. 11; see notes on Revelation 15:5-8); - The Second Coming, “And, behold, I come quickly” (vs. 12); - The reward of the righteous, “have right to the tree of life…” (vss. 12, 14); - And the punishment of the wicked, “For without are…” (vss. 12, 15). Christ sends this message, His greatest and final invitation, far and wide, by all available means, to all who will listen, “Come,” and “take the water of life freely.” This is the most profound invitation ever given to mankind! Your response will be the greatest decision that you will ever make! Today, while the door of mercy is wide open “The Spirit of the Bride says, ‘Come.’” Will you come? Will your name be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? It can be! He invites you to come to Him today. 18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 22:18-19 A dire warning is given to anyone who adds to the prophecies in this book or takes away anything from them. 20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 22:20-21 Christ promises, “Surely I come quickly.” John fervently expresses his desire for the blessed event, and then pronounces a blessing of the “grace of our Lord Jesus Christ” upon each of us who have, with open hearts, diligently studied the prophecies of this marvelous book.
