Revelation of John 22:7
And behold, I come quickly ( κα ιδου ερχομα ταχυ ). Christ is the speaker, either through this angel or more probably directly from Christ without introduction as in verses 12, 16. About Christ coming quickly see 2:5, 16; 3:11; 16:15, and already in 1:2f. Once more we must recall that ταχυ and εν ταχε are according to God's time, not ours (2Pe 3:8).Blessed ( μακαριος ). This beatitude is like in substance the first (1:3) and is in Christ's own words like the one in 16:15. This book is here called a "prophecy" ( προφητειας ) as in verses 10, 18, 19. It is Christ's revelation from God, a direct message from God. Part of it is prediction of doom on Christ's enemies, but most of it is a comforting picture of final triumph and bliss for the faithful in a time of great distress and persecution.
