Context of Revelation 21:6
4He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more. Nor shall there be mourning or crying or pain any longer, for the former things have passed away.” 5And the One seated upon the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new!” Then He said, “Write, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Then He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will freely give from the spring of the water of life. 7The one who overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8But for the cowardly and faithless and detestable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars—their lot is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Commentaries on Revelation 21:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6It is done - All is determined, and shall be fulfilled in due time.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6And he said unto me - That is, he that sat on the throne - the Messiah.

The redeemed are gathered in; the wicked are cut off…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6God repeats Jesus’s final words from the cross, It is done! (John 19:30; see also Revelation 16:17), linking Christ’s death to the promise of eternal life. I am the Alpha and the Omega: Using the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, John shows God as the source of all reality and truth. God existed from the Beginning (see Genesis 1:1; see also John 1:1–2) and is also the End (see Revelation 1:8; 22:13). Since Christ is supreme and controls…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 66. It is done--the same Greek as in Re 16:17. "It is come to pass." So Vulgate reads with English Version. But A reads, "They ('these words,' Re 21:5) are come to pass." All is as sure as if it actually had been fulfilled for it rests on the word of the unchanging God. When the consummation shall be, God shall rejoice over the work of His own hands, as at the completion of the first creation God saw everything that He had made, and behold it was very good…Read the comment
