Matthew Henry Commentary Revelation 22:20-21

"He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. Amen." — Revelation 22:20-21 (ASV)

After revealing these things to His people on earth, Christ seems to take leave of them and return to heaven; but He assures them it will not be long before He comes again.

And while we are busy in the duties of our different stations of life, whatever labors may test us, whatever difficulties may surround us, whatever sorrows may press us down, let us with pleasure hear our Lord proclaiming, Behold, I come quickly; I come to put an end to the labor and suffering of My servants. I come, and My reward of grace is with Me, to recompense with royal bounty every work of faith and labor of love.

I come to receive My faithful, persevering people to Myself, to dwell forever in that blissful world. Amen, even so, come, Lord Jesus.

A blessing closes the whole. By the grace of Christ we must be kept in joyful expectation of His glory, fitted for it, and preserved to it; and His glorious appearance will be joyful to those who partake of His grace and favor here.

Let all add, Amen. Let us earnestly thirst after greater measures of the gracious influences of the blessed Jesus in our souls, and His gracious presence with us, until glory has made perfect His grace toward us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
