Commentary on Revelation 22:8
John's repeated attempt to worship the revealing angel (also in 19:10) demonstrates how easily even spiritually mature believers can misdirect worship. The angel's correction emphasizes that only God deserves worship—created beings, however glorious, must not be worshiped. Reformed theology affirms the second commandment's prohibition of idolatry. John's mistake warns that impressive displays of divine glory through created mediators can tempt worship of the mediator rather than God. The repetition emphasizes this temptation's persistence and the need for constant vigilance.
