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.

3a) The fact that the words are from God.
b) All Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17) to teach us, so we can trust everything we read in God’s Word. It’s important to know that everything is in the Bible and it has a purpose. This is so people don’t think they are just good stories similar to myths. These are teachings to help us lead a Godly life and to bring us to salvation in Jesus.
4) We are to look forward to heaven and to have hope in Jesus when we die. We know that there is more to the world than our present life, and we can continue to do God’s will until we are called to be with Him. Prophecy allows us to trust and obey God and apply God’s truth to how we live our lives.
5a) John fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. He could have been feeling overwhelmed, drained from the effort, and worshipful for what he had seen. He could have been overcome in the moment, too.
b) The angel immediately rebuked him and said, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”
c) Good question. The immediacy of it all. The satisfaction and gratification of it. And, how easy it is rather than resist.
d) God’s Word and prayer help me to recognize and resist all of the world’s temptations. Dwelling on Jesus and the Word helps me to put on my armor and fight another day.
Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 29, Day 2: Revelation 22:6-11
It’s interesting to see that even John was confused and worshipped the wrong things. I think this is a great example of how we can get when we are tired, overwhelmed, and weak, both physically and mentally. We can be quick to sin and make poor decisions. This is when we need the Lord’s strength the most.
End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 29, Day 2: Revelation 22:6-11
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.
