Revelation 22:10

And he saith to me... — The angel, in contrast to the injunctions given to Daniel (Daniel 12:9), bids the prophet “Seal not the words of the prophecy”: the reason is added, “for the time is near.” “Such is ever the difference between the prophecy of the old, and the prophecy of the new dispensation. The one belonged to a preliminary and prefatory state; the other to a completive and final condition. However long the gospel age may have lasted, or may yet continue, it is the last time (1 John 2:18): after it there is none other: then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14), (Dean Vaughan).
