Charles Spurgeon Commentary Revelation 22:11

"He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still." — Revelation 22:11 (ASV)

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

This is what will be said when Christ comes to judgment, when we get into that future state. Today the voice of Jesus says, "Repent, repent, repent;" but once you cross the narrow stream of death, and pass out of the dispensation of mercy, then character is fixed, and fixed forever.

He that is unjust, let him be just still: and he which is filthy! let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

The Lord's messenger speaks as if "the time" was so near that there was no opportunity left for any charge to be made, and this is what will happen, sooner or later, to all men. When they die, their characters will be fixed forever. The wax will cool, and the impression that it bears will be retained eternally.
