Revelation 22 Quiz Questions and Answers
View Answer
Answer 1: B: The speaker identifies himself by name: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. God the Father appears as the source of the revelation in chapter one, making C a plausible wrong answer, but verse sixteen belongs to Jesus speaking in the first person.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:16, “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

Answer 2: A: His name shall be in their foreheads. A new name written on a white stone is the promise to the church at Pergamos in Revelation two, not this verse. Verse four names two promises together: seeing his face, and his name in their foreheads.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:4, “his name shall be in their foreheads.”

Answer 3: D: The angel said, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. This is the direct reverse of Daniel’s instruction to seal the book until the time of the end. Adding to the words is the sin of verses eighteen and nineteen, not what verse ten addresses.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:10, “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book.”

Answer 4: C: The tree of life yielded her fruit every month, twelve manner of fruits in all. The options naming annual, biannual, and sevenfold harvests introduce rhythms the verse does not state. Verse two says every month, and names twelve kinds, not one repeated variety.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:2, “bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month.”

Answer 5: E: The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. The declaration passes outward from the Spirit and the bride to everyone who hears, so that the hearer becomes the one who cries. Options A through D introduce content the verse does not attach to the Spirit and the bride.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:17, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come.”

Answer 6: B: John fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed him these things. Weeping because none was worthy to open the seals belongs to Revelation five. Verse eight names falling down to worship as John’s response at this point in the vision.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:8, “I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.”

Answer 7: D: Those who keep his commandments have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city. Two rights are named together: the tree and the gates. Reigning for a thousand years belongs to the first resurrection in chapter twenty, not this verse.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:14, “that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

Answer 8: A: The river of water of life was clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Option E says “pure and clean,” which is not the language of verse one; the verse says “clear as crystal.” The source, too, is named precisely as the throne of God and of the Lamb.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:1, “a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

Answer 9: E: God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. The curses written in the book of the law appear in Deuteronomy, not here. Verse eighteen names the plagues written in this book, not another, as the consequence for adding.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:18, “God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.”
View Answer
Answer 10: B: And there shall be no more curse. The absence of sorrow and death belongs to Revelation twenty-one verse four; the absence of sea to Revelation twenty-one verse one; the absence of night to verse five of this chapter. Verse three names the curse alone as what is no more.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:3, “And there shall be no more curse.”

Answer 11: C: He which is filthy, let him be filthy still. The verse commands four states to remain as they are: the unjust, the filthy, the righteous, and the holy. Options A and B introduce repentance and turning, which is precisely what verse eleven does not offer at this point.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:11, “he which is filthy, let him be filthy still.”

Answer 12: D: Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. The reward is individual and work-based. A crown for overcomers is the language of the seven letters in chapters two and three, not this declaration in verse twelve.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:12, “my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

Answer 13: B: Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. This is the sixth of Revelation’s seven beatitudes. “Faithful” is how the sayings themselves are described in verse six; “blessed” is the word the chapter applies to the one who keeps them.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:7, “blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.”

Answer 14: E: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Three pairs appear in sequence; the middle pair is the beginning and the end. Option A is a title from Revelation three verse seven, applied there to Christ in the letter to Philadelphia, not here.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:13, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”

Answer 15: A: There shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light. Option E echoes Revelation twenty-one verse twenty-three, which says the city needs no sun or moon, but verse five of this chapter names the Lord God specifically as the source of light for those who serve him.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:5, “the Lord God giveth them light.”

Answer 16: C: God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city. Two things are named together: the book of life and the holy city. Option A uses “book of the living,” language drawn from Psalm sixty-nine and Exodus thirty-two, but not the phrase verse nineteen employs.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:19, “God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city.”
View Answer
Answer 17: B: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. The Spirit and the bride appear in verse seventeen, not the closing verse. The final verse names Jesus Christ alone as the source of the grace that closes the entire book.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:21, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.”
View Answer
Answer 18: D: The Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Lord God of the churches connects him to the seven letters, not this verse. Verse six uses “holy prophets” as the identifying phrase alongside the sending of the angel.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:6, “the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”
View Answer
Answer 19: B: The angel said, I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. The angel does not call himself unworthy; he places himself in the same category as John. The word “fellowservant” names shared status rather than comparative worth.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:9, “I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets.”

Answer 20: C: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Dogs head the list. A reader who remembers the names but not their order may reach for murderers or sorcerers, both of which appear later in verse fifteen.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:15, “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers.”

Answer 21: E: The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Sustenance is what the fruit of the tree provides; healing is the purpose named for the leaves. Verse two distinguishes the two: the fruit is what the tree bears monthly, while the leaves carry the healing.
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:2, “the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
View Answer
Answer 22: A: His servants shall serve him. Verse three names no specific group (no elders, tribes, or angels) as the servants. It says simply “his servants.” The nations appear separately in verse twenty-four; the word the verse uses in verse three is “servants.”
KJV Reference: Revelation 22:3, “and his servants shall serve him…”
