Summary of Revelation 22:6-21
John goes to worship the angel who revealed these sights to him. The angel tells him only God should be worshipped. Jesus tells John to let those who do wrong continue to do so, as well as those who do right.
Jesus speaks, telling John he is coming soon and will give each person according to what they have done. Blessed are those who wash their robes/do his commandments. They will have the right to the Tree of Life and to enter the New Jerusalem. Outside are unbelievers and evil-doers. Jesus sent his angels so that John could give his testimony to the churches.
The Spirit and the bride extend an invitation to all to come. John then warns people to not add or take away from this prophecy or face consequences.

12) It definitely reminds me that we don’t belong on this side of heaven. I need to constantly be aware of those around me who don’t believe or who I am unsure if they believe and just talk about Jesus more and give him the credit more.
13) The book of Revelation is definitely challenging. It has some dire/eternal consequences in it if you don’t choose Jesus. I am challenged more to evangelize more and just be aware of and think of others more when it comes to salvation.

Love this book! I wish pastors would preach more on it, but I think they are afraid to turn others off. Yet, there is so much richness here and so much hope to focus on!
End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 29, Day 5: Revelation 22:6-21
Jesus is speaking when he says that he is coming soon and blessed are those who keep these words.
Quickly here could mean “suddenly” in the original Greek.
This is the second time John worshipped an angel Revelation 19:10 as recorded in Scripture.
Nothing created should ever be worshipped. Only God and Jesus.
Angels worship God, too (Hebrews 1:6)
The warning could either be from the angel or from Jesus.
Basically, if you don’t believe the warnings in the book of Revelation by now, you probably won’t change your ways. You will be evil or good till the End Times.
Jesus reminds us who he is and stresses the urgency of being ready. Jesus makes it clear that he is God by using the same titles that applies to God.
Verses 14 and 15 could be Jesus, John, or an angel speaking.
Following Jesus is evidence that you are his. We do works for Jesus, and it blesses us, too.
We shouldn’t take this literally as people will be outside of New Jerusalem. Unbelievers will be banished to hell. This just means they are outside of heaven forever.
Jesus tells us that the entire book of Revelation is true and is meant for the churches/everyone.
Fun Fact: This is the first reference to the church since the beginning of the book Revelation 2-3.
Jesus uses Messianic titles here:
Jesus says he created David, but he’s also from David.
Jesus is offering an open invitation to people to come similar to what we see in Isaiah 55:1.
God gives freely. We don’t have to bring Him anything (He needs nothing from us). Other religions require sacrifices. Not here.
An invitation to salvation closes the Bible How magnificent!
Bible scholars are unsure who is speaking at the end — Jesus, an angel, or John. A majority believe this is John speaking.
The message of Revelation can be summed up here: Jesus is coming quickly. We are to be ready!
John asks Jesus to come.
Grace to us all. Paul likes to end his books/letters in this way too. (1 Corinthians 16:23, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:28, 2 Thessalonians 3:18). In 2 Thessalonians 3:17-18
The last words of the Old Testament are a curse (Malachi 4:6); here it is grace!
How great is our God!
Revelation opens and closes with blessings!
God’s Holy Spirit is the source of eery word.
Jesus’ 1st coming is central to our lives and his return will be the ultimate climax.
