Revelation 21:5-6 ASV

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 21:1-27

The endless end of evil has passed before the vision of the seer, and he now observes the resultant order. The holy city appears. Toward a city of God men had looked through long generations. Now it is manifested. God comes to abide with men. There is a new order of things, characterized by laughter without tears, life without death, singing without mourning, content without crying, pleasure without pain. As John beheld the vision he heard a voice saying, "Behold, I make all things new," and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 21:1-6

The Alpha and Omega of Creation Genesis 1:1-5 ; Revelation 21:1-6 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Genesis and Revelation contrasted. The Book of Genesis is commonly known as the Book of beginnings. It is there that everything takes its form, and comes into being. The Book of Revelation has been called Palin-genesis, that is, the beginning again. Revelation gives us the finality of everything that was created and made. Genesis is creation; Revelation is the re-creation, or, the consummation of... read more

The Marriage of the Lamb Revelation 19:1-10 ; Revelation 21:1-27 and Revelation 22:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Old Testament analogies of the coming Marriage in the skies. It is not difficult to find, in both the Old and the New Testaments, delightful foreshadowings of the coming Heavenly nuptials. (1) There is the first marriage in Eden. Eve was the bride typical of the Bride of Christ. Observe the following: Adam was put to sleep; Christ was put to sleep. Adam's side was opened; Christ's... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:5

‘And he who sits on the throne said, “Behold I make all things new”.’ In case this all seems too good to be true God Himself now confirms it personally. Previously He has been passive while the action He has initiated goes on around Him. But now He speaks, for it is His own people who are involved, and He declares ‘Behold, I make all things new!’ And then goes on to outline His intentions on the basis of the fact that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. Now He will... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:5-6

‘And he says, “Write. For these words are faithful and true”. And he said to me, “They have come about. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, and I will give freely to him who is thirsty of the water of life”.’ Elsewhere it is Christ, the Word of God, Who is faithful and true (Revelation 19:11, compare Revelation 3:14). It is He Who is the faithful witness (Revelation 3:14, compare Revelation 1:5). But now God’s words spoken here are also faithful and true. There is no doubt... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:1-8

Revelation 21:1-Ruth : . ( a) The Distant View of the City. Revelation 21:1 . cf. Isaiah 65:17.— sea is no more: “ To the apostolic age the ocean spoke of separation and isolation. . . . For this element of unrest, this fruitful cause of destruction and death, this divider of nations and churches, there could be no place in a world of social intercourse, deathless life, and unbroken peace” (Swete). [Ultimately this probably goes back to the conception of the sea as God’ s turbulent... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:1-27

Revelation 21:1 to Revelation 22:5 . The Vision of the New Jerusalem.— The doctrine of the new heaven and the new earth goes back to Isaiah 65:17, and is derived from the belief that the present world was so corrupt that it could not possibly be the seat of the Messianic kingdom, at any rate in its present condition. The idea was developed in the apocalyptic literature, especially in Ethiopic Enoch, the Apocalypse of Baruch , , 4 Ezra. Some expositors hold that the New Jerusalem was... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 21:5

And he that sat upon the throne, that is, Christ, said, Behold, I make all things new; behold, I will put a new face upon all things; the state of my people shall not for ever be a troubled and afflicted state. And he said unto me, Write: because the vision is to be for an appointed time, and what I now tell thee will not be accomplished of many years, and yet the knowledge and prospect of it, and meditations upon it, are of highest importance to keep up the spirits of my people under all their... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 21:6

And he said unto me, It is done; the world is at an end, and all my threatenings against my enemies, and promises to my people, are now fulfilled, in the eternal damnation of the one, and deliverance and salvation of the other. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end: I first made the world, and I have put a period to it. I first gave out those promises and threatenings, and I have now fulfilled them. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely; and... read more
