 | Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. |
 | And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. |
 | Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." |
| Revelation 22:12-13 |
Commentary
22:12, 13 Again the Lord announces His soon Coming, this time with the promise of reward to every one according to his work. Again He identifies Himself as the Alpha and the Omega. The same One who created all things will draw the curtain on the stage of time.
22:14 This verse may read, "Blessed are those who do His commandments" or "Blessed are those who wash their robes" (margin). Neither reading teaches salvation by works but rather works as the fruit and proof of salvation. Only true believers have access to the tree of life and to the eternal city.
