Revelation of John 22:6
He said unto me ( ειπεν μο ). Apparently the same angel as in 22:1 (21:9, 15).These words ( ουτο ο λογο ). The same words used in 21:5 by the angel there. Whatever the application there, here the angel seems to endorse as "faithful and true" ( πιστο κα αληθινο ) not merely the preceding vision (21:9-22:5), but the revelations of the entire book. The language added proves this: "Sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass" ( απεστειλεν τον αγγελον αυτου δειξα τοις δουλοις αυτου α δε γενεσθα εν ταχε ), a direct reference to 1:1 concerning the purpose of Christ's revelation to John in this book. For "the God of the spirits of the prophets" ( ο θεος των πνευματων των προφητων ) see 19:10; 1Co 14:32. Probably the prophets' own spirits enlightened by the Holy Spirit (10:7; 11:8; 22:9).
