Charles Ellicott Commentary Revelation 22:17

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely." — Revelation 22:17 (ASV)

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come . . .—The cry of all creation is for its true Lord; the cry of the Spirit in prophecies and in the hearts of God’s people is for the coming Lord—the bride waiting for the bridegroom cries “Come.”

The Apocalypse is the book of the coming One. It ends with the cry that the coming One would come . But let those who thirst for His coming come to Him.

We may draw near to Him, who is drawing near to us: let him that thirsteth, come; let him that will take the water of life freely .

“The power of the whole gospel,” says Bengel, “concentrates itself in this, that one should be able to respond to this Come, and repeat it from the heart.”
