Book of Revelation • 7.4.20 • Matt Vines

Bible Text: Revelation 22:6-21 | Speaker: RE Matt Vines | Series: Book of Revelation | Rev. 22:6-21 serves as the epilogue to the Book of Revelation.  John concludes this great book by reminding his readers of the authoritative nature of this book.  He tells us that its words are “trustworthy and true” and that the one who obeys its teaching shall be eternally blessed.  He also reminds us of the imminent return of Jesus Christ.  Three times in this passage, Jesus says, “I am coming soon” (v. 7, 12, 20).  For this reason, John says that those who are anxiously awaiting his return should remain steadfast in their pursuit of righteousness and holiness.  Jesus promises to richly reward all those who faithfully persevere to the end.  By the grace of God, all of the elect will attain entrance into the NewJerusalem where they will have free access to the Tree of Life for all eternity.  Therefore, the church of every age joyously proclaims, “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”
