rwp@Revelation:22:8 @{And I John} (\Kag Ianns\). Here John the Seer is the speaker. He had already given his name (1:1,4,9|). Here he claims to be the "one who hears and sees these things" (\ho akoun kai blepn tauta\). {I fell down to worship} (\epesa proskunsai\). Second aorist active indicative of \pipt\ (with \-a\ form) and the first aorist active infinitive of purpose of \proskune\. It was a natural, though a wrong, thing to do, especially after Christ's own voice followed that of the angel "which shewed me these things" (\tou deiknuontos tauta\). Genitive singular of the articular present active participle of \deiknu\. Cf. 1:1; 4:1; 17:1; 21:9f.; 22:1,6|.
rwp@Revelation:22:9 @{See thou do it not} (\Hora m\). The angel promptly interposes (\legei\, dramatic present). See 19:10| for discussion of this same phrase \hora m\ when John had once before started to worship the angel in his excitement. Here we have added to the words in 19:10| "the prophets (\tn prophtn\) and also "them which keep the words of this book" (\tn trountn tous logous tou bibliou toutou\), the last a repetition from 22:7|. In both places we have "Worship God" (\ti thei proskunson\). And not an angel.
