Vincent, [1886]\nPure\nOmit.\nClear (\u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03bd)\nSee on Luk 23:11. Rev., bright.\nIn the midst of the street thereof\nSome connect these words with the preceding. So Rev.\nOn either side (\u1f10\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u1fe6\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f10\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u1fe6\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd)\nFor the latter \u1f10\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u1fe6\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd read \u1f10\u03ba\u03b5\u1fd6\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd, as render, as Rev., on this side and on that.\nTree (\u03be\u03cd\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd)\nSee on Luk 23:31, and see on Rev 2:7.\nTwelve manner of fruits (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c1\u03c0\u03bf\u1f7a\u03c2 \u03b4\u03ce\u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03b1)\nLit., twelve fruits. Some render crops or harvests of fruit. On these two verses compare Eze 47:1-12; Joe 3:18; Zac 14:8.\nShall serve (\u03bb\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b5\u03cd\u03c3\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd)\nSee on Luk 1:74. Rev., do Him service. The word originally means to serve for hire. In the New Testament, of the worship or service of God in the use of the rites intended for His worship. It came to be used by the Jews in a very special sense, to denote the service rendered to Jehovah by the Israelites as His peculiar people. See Rom 9:4; Act 26:7; Heb 9:1, Heb 9:6. Hence the significant application of the term to Christian service by Paul in Phi 3:3.\nSee His face\nCompare Jo1 3:2; Mat 5:8; Exo 33:20; Psa 17:15.\nNo night there (\u1f10\u03ba\u03b5\u1fd6)\nSubstitute \u1f14\u03c4\u03b9 any more. Rev., there shall be night no more.\nThe Lord God (\u039a\u03cd\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2 \u1f41 \u0398\u03b5\u1f78\u03c2)\nRather, as Rev., the Lord, the God.\nOf the holy prophets (\u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f01\u03b3\u03af\u03c9\u03bd \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u03b7\u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd)\nFor \u1f01\u03b3\u03af\u03c9\u03bd holy substitute \u03c0\u03bd\u03b5\u03c5\u03bc\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd spirits, and render, as Rev., the God of the spirits of the prophets.\nBe done (\u03b3\u03b5\u03b3\u03ad\u03c3\u03b8\u03b1\u03b9)\nBetter, as Rev., come to pass.\nKeepeth (\u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u1ff6\u03bd)\nA favorite word with John, occurring in his writings more frequently than in all the rest of the New Testament together. See on reserved Pe1 1:4.\nBook (\u03b2\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03af\u03bf\u03c5)\nDiminutive, properly a little book or scroll. See on writing, Mat 19:7; see on bill, Mar 10:2; see on book, Luk 4:17.\nI John saw (\u1f10\u03b3\u1f7c \u1f39\u03c9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2 \u1f41 \u03b2\u03bb\u03ad\u03c0\u03c9\u03bd)\nThe A.V. overlooks the article with the participle - the one seeing. Hence Rev., correctly, I John am he that heard and saw.\nHad heard and seen (\u1f24\u03ba\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f14\u03b2\u03bb\u03b5\u03c8\u03b1)\nAorist tense. There is no need of rendering it as a pluperfect. Rev., rightly, I heard and saw. The appeal to hearing and seeing is common to all John's writings. See Joh 1:14; Joh 19:35; Joh 21:14; Jo1 1:1, Jo1 1:2; Jo1 4:14.\nSee thou do it not (\u1f45\u03c1\u03b1 \u03bc\u03ae)\nLit., see not.\nThy brethren the prophets\nThe spiritual brotherhood of John with the prophets is exhibited in Revelation.\nSeal (\u03c3\u03c6\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u03af\u03c3\u1fc3\u03c2)\nRev., seal up. This word occurs eighteen times in Revelation and twice in the Gospel, and only five times elsewhere in the New Testament. It means to confirm or attest (Joh 3:33); to close up for security (Mat 27:66; Rev 20:3); to hide or keep secret (Rev 10:4; Rev 22:10); to mark a person or thing (Rev 7:3; Eph 1:13; Eph 4:30)\nTime (\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2)\nSee on Mat 12:1.\nUnjust (\u1f00\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u1ff6\u03bd)\nRev., better, unrighteous.\nLet him be unjust (\u1f00\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b7\u03c3\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9)\nThe verb means to do wickedly. Hence Rev., correctly, let him do unrighteousness.\nHe which is filthy (\u1f41 \u1fe5\u03c5\u03c0\u1ff6\u03bd)\nOnly here in the New Testament. On the kindred noun \u1fe5\u03cd\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2 filth, see on Pe1 3:21. \u1fec\u03c5\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03af\u03b1 filthiness occurs only in Jam 1:21; and the adjective \u1fe5\u03c5\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03cc\u03c2 filthy only in Jam 2:2.\nLet him be filthy (\u1fe5\u03c5\u03c0\u03c9\u03c3\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9)\nThe best texts read \u1fe5\u03c5\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b8\u03ae\u03c4\u03c9 let him be made filthy. So Rev.\nLet him be righteous (\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03c9\u03b8\u03ae\u03c4\u03c9)\nRead \u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd \u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b7\u03c3\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9 let him do righteousness. So Rev.\nLet him be holy (\u1f01\u03b3\u03b9\u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u03ae\u03c4\u03c9)\nRev., giving literally the force of the passive voice, let him be made holy.\nMy reward is with me (\u1f41 \u03bc\u03b9\u03c3\u03b8\u03cc\u03c2 \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4' \u1f10\u03bc\u03bf\u1fe6)\n\u039c\u03b9\u03c3\u03b8\u03cc\u03c2 reward is strictly wages. Compare Isa 40:10; Isa 62:11. See on Pe2 2:13.\nTo give (\u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u1fe6\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9)\nLit., to give back or in return for, thus appropriate to \u03bc\u03b9\u03c3\u03b8\u03cc\u03c2 reward. Hence Rev., better, render. See on give an account, Luk 16:2; and see on gave, Act 4:33.\nShall be (\u1f14\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9)\nRead \u1f10\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd is.\nThat do His commandments (\u03bf\u1f31 \u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03bf\u1fe6\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f70\u03c2 \u1f10\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u1f70\u03c2 \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6)\nRead \u03bf\u1f31 \u03c0\u03bb\u03cd\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f70\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u1f70\u03c2 \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd they that wash their robes. Compare Rev 7:14.\nThat they may have right to the tree of life (\u1f35\u03bd\u03b1 \u1f14\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u1f21 \u1f10\u03be\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f10\u03c0\u1f76 \u03c4\u1f78 \u03be\u03cd\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd \u03c4\u1fc6\u03c2 \u03b6\u03c9\u1fc6\u03c2)\nLit., in order that theirs shall be authority over the tree of life. For \u1f10\u03be\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 right, authority, see on Joh 1:12. \u1f19\u03c0\u03af may be the preposition of direction: \"may have right to come to\" (so Rev.) or may be rendered over.\nDogs (\u03bf\u1f31 \u03ba\u03cd\u03bd\u03b5\u03c2)\nThe A.V. omits the article \"the dogs.\" Compare Phi 3:2. This was the term of reproach with which the Judaizers stigmatized the Gentiles as impure. In the Mosaic law the word is used to denounce the moral profligacies of heathen worship (Deu 23:18). Compare Mat 15:26. Here the word is used of those whose moral impurity excludes them from the New Jerusalem. \"As a term of reproach, the word on the lips of a Jew, signified chiefly impurity; of a Greek, impudence. The herds of dogs which prowl about Eastern cities, without a home and without an owner, feeding on the refuse and filth of the streets, quarreling among themselves, and attacking the passer-by, explain both applications of the image\" (Lightfoot, on Phi 3:2).\nSorcerers\nSee on Rev 9:21, and compare Rev 21:8.\nWhoremongers (\u03c0\u03cc\u03c1\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9)\nRev., better, fornicators.\nMaketh (\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u1ff6\u03bd)\nOr doeth. Compare doeth the truth, Joh 3:21; Jo1 1:6. See on Joh 3:21.\nThe root\nCompare Isa 11:1, Isa 11:10. See on Nazarene, Mat 2:23.\nThe morning-star\nSee on Rev 2:28.\nThe Spirit\nIn the Church.\nThe Bride\nThe Church.\nHeareth\nThe voice of the Spirit and the Bride.\nThe Book of Life\nRead \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03be\u03cd\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5 the tree. So Rev.\nEven so (\u03bd\u03b1\u1f76)\nOur Lord (\u1f21\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd)\nWith you all (\u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u1f51\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd)\nThe readings differ. Some read \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd with all, omitting you. Others, \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f01\u03b3\u03af\u03c9\u03bd with the saints.","title":"Vincent's Word Studies: Revelation: Revelation Chapter 22","type":"page"}
