Revelation 22:13 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 1:13

I am Alpha and Omega (See Gill on Revelation 1:8). These characters are all put together here, which are before used in ( Revelation 1:8 Revelation 1:11 ) ( 21:6 ) and are very pertinently mentioned in this place, when all promises and prophecies, relating to the glorious kingdom of Christ, were just finishing, and that itself was ready to appear, in which Christ alone should be exalted, the mystery of God would be completed, and time itself be no more. The Ethiopic version adds, "the beginning and end of days", or time. A testimony this, of the deity, eternity, infinity, and perfection of Christ.

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes clean, that they may have a right to the Tree of Life, and may go through the gates into the city.

15 The unclean are shut out, and so are all who practise magic, all fornicators, all murderers, and those who worship idols, and every one who loves falsehood and tells lies.
