Apocalisse 22:4 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 22:4

And they shall see his face
The face of God, so as he is not to be seen now; they shall see him as he is; not only the angels, who always behold the face of God, but all the saints, risen and changed, being pure in heart, and perfectly holy; they shall see him face to face, they shall have intimate and familiar communion with him; they shall enjoy his favour, and have the freest and largest discoveries of his love; and they shall see the face of the Lamb; they shall behold Christ and his glory both with the eyes of their understanding, and with the eyes of their bodies; and this is a very desirable sight, and will be very glorious and delightful; it will be fully satisfying, and will make the saints like unto him; it will be free from all darkness and any interruption, and will always continue.

And his name shall be in their foreheads;
they shall be known to be his servants, as if his name was written and bore on their foreheads; it will be a clear case that they are the children and people of God; now they are, but it is not known, at least not so known as it will be in this state; and they will also in the fullest and freest manner own God to be their God, and the Lamb to be their Redeemer; they will be under no fear of man, nor be under any temptation to be ashamed of Christ, or of his service; see ( Revelation 14:1 ) . Some think there is an allusion to the inscription on the mitre of the high priest's forehead, "holiness to the Lord", the saints being now openly, visibly, and perfectly holy.

Apocalisse 22:4 In-Context

2 In mezzo alla piazza della città e d’ambo i lati del fiume stava l’albero della vita che dà dodici raccolti, e porta il suo frutto ogni mese; e le foglie dell’albero sono per la guarigione delle nazioni.

3 E non ci sarà più alcuna cosa maledetta; e in essa sarà il trono di Dio e dell’Agnello;

4 i suoi servitori gli serviranno ed essi vedranno la sua faccia e avranno in fronte il suo nome.

5 E non ci sarà più notte; ed essi non avranno bisogno di luce di lampada, né di luce di sole, perché li illuminerà il Signore Iddio, ed essi regneranno nei secoli dei secoli.

6 Poi mi disse: Queste parole sono fedeli e veraci; e il Signore, l’Iddio degli spiriti dei profeti, ha mandato il suo angelo per mostrare ai suoi servitori le cose che debbono avvenire in breve.
