Revelation 22
...Come (22:16-17)
“16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
Jesus now authenticates His angel through whom He has given the revelation to John. You is plural, indicating that the revelation is for all the churches. As the root and the offspring of David, Jesus is the fulfillment of the Messianic promise of Isaiah 11:1. As the bright and morning star, Jesus will shortly bring in the new age: the messianic kingdom. (Liberty Annotated Study Bible, pg. 2018)
