Revelation 22:5-7

A Final Reminder
6 Then[a] the angel[b] said to me, “These words are reliable[c] and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants[d] what must happen soon.”
7 (Look ! I am coming soon!
Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book.)[e]
