Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 1:19

_ _ The oldest manuscripts read, “Write therefore” (inasmuch as I, “the First and Last,” have the keys of death, and vouchsafe to thee this vision for the comfort and warning of the Church).

_ _ things which are — “the things which thou hast seen” are those narrated in this chapter (compare Revelation 1:11). “The things which are” imply the present state of things in the churches when John was writing, as represented in the second and third chapters. “The things which shall be hereafter,” the things symbolically represented concerning the future history of the fourth through twenty-second chapters. Alford translates, “What things they signify”; but the antithesis of the next clause forbids this, “the things which shall be hereafter,” Greek, “which are about to come to pass.” The plural (Greek) “are,” instead of the usual Greek construction singular, is owing to churches and persons being meant by things” in the clause, “the things which are.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 1:9-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 1:19

Write the things which thou hast seen — This day: which accordingly are written, Revelation 1:11-18. And which are — The instructions relating to the present state of the seven churches. These are written, Rev. 1:20-3:22. And which shall be hereafter — To the end of the world; written, Rev. 4:1, &c.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Revelation 1:19

(13) Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

(13) The sum of this prophecy, that the apostle must write whatever he sees, adding nothing, nor taking away anything (Revelation 1:2). Here there are two parts: one is a narration of those things which are, that is, which then were at that time, contained in the second and third chapter: the other part is of those things which were to come, contained in the rest of this book.

Revelation 4:1-22:21 After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. ... The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
