Study
27 From the Book of Revelation is: Revelation 22:6-21
1-
What word of Christ is repeated three times in these verses? See
also 3:11, and cf. 1:7; 16:15. How are we to reconcile this word with the fact that
even now He has not come? What should be our attitude and response to this word
of our Master? Cf. 2 Pet. 3; Mt. 24:43-51; Heb. 10:36-39. Can you join in the
prayer of verses 17 and 20 as the spontaneous yearning of your heart?
2-
How are the truth and the importance of the content of this book
confirmed to us in this passage? By what
name is it four times described? What is its origin? Whence does it derive its
authority? How ought we to express our regard for it and our response to it?
Notes
1-
Verse 6. This book springs from the same divine source from which
all the prophets have derived their inspiration.
2-
Verse 8, 9. Cf. 19:10, Col. 2:18. John emphasizes both the
attraction and the error of angel worship. The same might be said of the
worship of the saints.
3-
Verse 11. An emphatic warning that the time of the end is near,
and the opportunity of a change of character is passing. Cf. Dn. 12:10; 2 Tim.
3:13. Yet see verse 17b below, and 21:6.
4-
Verse 16. ‘The root and
the offspring of David’ cf. Mk. 12:35-37
