Revelation 22:6-21
Revelation 22 is important, because it is the last chapter of the Bible. Revelation was indeed written last. It was written in 95 to 99 A.D. by the Apostle John, and it was the last book accepted by the early church as inspired by God. John was the last prophet. When sin entered this world, Satan questioned the authority of the Word of God.

When the Bible talks about the coming of Christ quickly or shortly, it is referring to the manner of His coming. It will happen so rapidly, the world will be taken by surprise.
There is assurance of the Word of God: "Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book" (Revelation 22:7). Revelation began with a special blessing promised to those who would read, understand, and obey the words of this prophecy (Revelation 1:3). It concludes with a like promise. It draws it all together. He is saying, "I assure you that you will receive the promise that I gave you at the very beginning of this prophecy." So we can understand the message of Revelation: "He that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book ...
