Commentary

Commentary on Revelation 22:1

Theological / Devotional

Pure river. The angel had shown John the exterior of the city (ch. 21:10), and now calls his attention to certain things in the interior. Compare Ezekiel’s description of the river (see on Eze. 47:1).

Clear. Gr. lampros, “brilliant,” “bright.” Compare the use of the word in Luke 23:11; Acts 10:30; Rev. 15:6 ; 19:8; 22:16.

Out of the throne. Compare on Eze. 47:1; Zech. 14:8.
