2567.—The Pronoun “His” in Rev. 22:14.

Will you please explain what is the antecedent of the pronoun “His” in Rev. 22:14? Can this possibly refer to Christ? Is it the so-called revised code of the Ten Commandments which some of our Christian friends talk about? A. L. M.
We can very easily understand to whom it refers if we will remember that it is Christ Himself who is talking. Read the 12th verse in connection with the 14th, between which there is no break. “Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me to render to each man according as his work is. . . . Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life.” Connect this also with Rev. 14:12: “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” There can be no question as to the antecedent of the pronoun “His,” and that is God the Father. Note also the 16th verse which still holds the connection, “I Jesus have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches.” There is no such thing in all the Bible as a revised moral code, or a revised code, of the Ten Commandments. Perfection does not admit of revision in God's plan.
