How preachers through history handled this text
16 public-domain excerpts on Revelation 22, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The Lord Jesus spake by the angel, solemnly confirming the contents of this book, particularly of this last vision. He is the Lord God faithful and true. Also by his messengers; the holy angels showed them to holy men of God. They are things that must shortly be done; Christ will come quickly, and put all things out of doubt. And by the integrity of that angel who had been the apostle's interpreter. He refused to accept religious worship from John, and reproved him for offering it. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Revelation 22:6–19 (Public Domain)
