Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Revelation 22 - Introduction

XXII.

THE RESTORED PARADISE (Revelation 22:1). — These five verses complete the description of the new heavens and new earth. The features of this last section reflect those of the first and forfeited paradise: the tree of life and the river that flows by the trees are here, and the happy and willing service of God is restored (Revelation 22:3), and the curse has disappeared.
