Revelation 22:6-17 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)
Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place.” 7“Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book.”
8And I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. 9But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
10Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near. 11Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”
12“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” 14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 15But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.” 17The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.
Truth Spoken
God does not leave us in the dark. The Scriptures, as a whole, speak to us concerning the things past, and the things present, and the things future, and what we should expect to take place. They are filled with words of encouragement and hope and healing, but they are also filled with many warnings about things yet to come and what the results will be if we do not worship God in spirit and in truth, and if we choose our own course, instead, and if we go our own way and we walk in sin, and not in obedience to God.
But God does not force his will on anyone who refuses to adhere to his commands and to do what he says they must do to be saved from their sins and to have eternal life with God. If sin is what they choose over obedience to God, then God will let them continue to be unrighteous and vile and disobedient to the Lord. And this is not to say that the Lord never sought them out or that he never sent messengers to them to call them to repentance, but that he will not force his will on anyone who refuses him.
God Will Judge
However, he will judge us all according to what we have done, and he will give to each one of us according to what we have done. And all those who chose their sins over God – all the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood – even if they professed faith in Jesus Christ with their lips, they will not enter into the kingdom of God, and they will not have salvation from sin, for they loved their sin more, for their sin was still their god, and not God.
But blessed are those who practice righteousness and who obey the Lord and his commands and who no longer walk in sin – all by the grace of God and in his power, strength, and wisdom. Blessed are those who live holy lives, pleasing to God, who are unlike the world because they are being conformed by God to his likeness. And blessed are those who have been cleansed from sin by the blood of Jesus shed on a cross via biblical faith in Christ which denies self, dies to sin, and walks in obedience to our Lord.
Come to Christ
But then here is still a call to come to Christ, to die with him to sin and to now walk with him in holiness and in righteousness and no longer to live as slaves to sin. And we who are already in fellowship with Jesus Christ should be making that call to the people of the world and to the unrepentant professers of faith in Jesus Christ to come to Christ in truth, and in biblical repentance, and in obedience to our Lord and to his commands to follow him from now on wherever he leads you in doing all that he requires of you.

John, the Baptist, called of God to
Make straight the way for the Lord,
Told his disciples about Jesus,
So two of them followed Him.
One of them who followed Jesus
Told his brother, Simon Peter,
Who then he brought to the Savior,
Who had told them, “Come and see.”
Jesus Christ, our Lord, Messiah,
On his way to Galilee found a man, Philip,
So he told him, “I want you to follow Me.”
Philip then found his friend,
And he told him, “We have found the one
The prophets spoke of – He is Jesus!”
Philip then said, “Come and see.”
Jesus saw the man, Nathanael,
While he sat beneath a fig tree,
Even before Philip called him,
So Nathanael did believe.
Nonetheless the Lord said,
“You believe because of what I told you.
You will see much greater things than these
If you will Come and see.”
Jesus’ calling to each one of us.
He tells us to believe in Him
As our Lord and Messiah,
And to follow where He leads.
He says we must turn from our sins,
Die to sin and self each day,
And put on our new lives in Jesus;
Bow before Him; humbly pray.
Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place.” 7“Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book.”
8And I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. 9But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
10Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near. 11Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.”
12“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” 14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 15But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
