Revelation 22:19-21 “And 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. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” Take away from - The one who takes away from the words of the Revelation is equally guilty with the one who adds to the words. Take away his part - The guilty one in this case will suffer three major losses: (1) the loss of immortality, and the consequent suffering of eternal death. (2) loss of any part in the corporate life of the city of the new earth. (3) loss of all the blessings and promises of the Revelation. A complete and staggering loss is here presented that nothing in this life can even remotely compensate for. He which testifieth - He being Christ. The specific reference is to the testimony in verses 18-19. Surely - Greek nai - A term of strong affirmation like the Old English “verily.” I come Quickly - The Master reaffirms the surety and imminence of His second coming. Amen - Compare Revelation 1:6-7, 18; 3:14; 5:14; 7:12; 19:4. For the meaning of the term see Matthew 5:18. This Amen is probably spoken by the apostle. If so it should be connected with what follows thus: “Amen, come, therefore Lord Jesus.” Come, Lord Jesus - Textual evidence may be cited for the reading, “come, Lord Jesus Christ.” This exclamation is John's response to the testimony of Jesus who assures the apostle that He is coming quickly. (cf. Revelation 1:1) John was probably reminded of that night in the upper room more than half a century before when he heard Jesus declare, “I will come again,” (John 14:3) and of that day a few weeks later on the Mount of Olives when he had heard the angels say, “this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11) While in holy vision, John is given one last assurance that his blessed Lord is to return and quickly. This assurance comes from the lips of his Master Himself being the faithful and true witness. His heart thrills at the words and with eager anticipation he looks forward to the day when in reality and not in vision he will see his blessed Lord face to face.
