‏ Revelation of John 21:6

They are come to pass ( Γεγοναν ). Second perfect active indicative of γινομα with -αν for -ασ. See 16:17 for a like use of γεγονεν, "They have come to pass." Here again it is the voice of God because, as in 1:8, He says:

I am the Alpha and the Omega ( Εγω το Αλφα κα το Ο ) with the addition "the beginning and the end" ( η αρχη κα το τελος ), the whole used in 22:13 of Christ. In Isa 44:6 there is something like the addition, and in Col 1:18; Re 3:14 η αρχη is applied to Christ, while here God is the First Cause ( αρχη ) and the Finality ( τελος ) as in Ro 11:36; Eph 4:6. But God works through Christ (Joh 1:3; Heb 1:2f.; Col 1:12-20). God is the bountiful Giver (Jas 1:5, 17) of the Water of Life. See 7:17; 22:1, 17 for this metaphor, which is based on Isa 55:1. It is God's own promise ( Εγω δωσω ), "I will give."

Of the fountain ( εκ της πηγης ). For this partitive use of εκ see Mt 25:8, without εκ Re 2:17.

Freely ( δωρεαν ). See Mt 10:8; Joh 4:10; Ro 3:24; Ac 8:20; Re 22:17.
