Revelation 22:20

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

He which testifieth these things saith—viz, the Lord Jesus, as in —Surely I come quickly; yea, I come quickly. As the book opens, so it closes with this promise. This is the anchor and stay of the faithful, the sound of an alarm and a warning cry to the wicked.

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Omit "even so." Thus in calm and patient hope the apostle answers his Lord. So the writer who delivers the message is the first to proclaim his belief in what is herein contained.
