Revelation 22:8 Context
6And hee said vnto mee, These sayings are faithfull and true. And the Lord God of the holy Prophets sent his Angel to shew vnto his seruants the things which must shortly be done. 7Beholde, I come quickly: Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecie of this booke. 8And I Iohn saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seene, I fell downe, to worship before the feete of the Angel, which shewed me these things. 9Then saith he vnto me, See thou doe it not: for I am thy fellow seruant, and of thy brethren the Prophets, and of them which keepe the sayings of this booke: worship God. 10And hee saith vnto mee, Seale not the sayings of the prophesie of this booke: for the time is at hand.

Wesley's Notes for Revelation 22:8
22:8 I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel - The very same words which occur, #Rev 19:10|. The reproof of the angel, likewise, See thou do it not, for I am thy fellowservant, is expressed in the very same terms as before. May it not be the very same incident which is here related again? Is not this far more probable, than that the apostle would commit a fault again, of which he had been so solemnly warned before?
People's Bible Notes for Revelation 22:8
Re 22:8,9 I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel. On these two verses, see PNT "Re 19:10". There John attempts to worship the angel and is prevented. Among the idolatrous tendencies that early showed themselves in the church was angel worship. This not only rebukes it, but the worship of any being, earthly or heavenly, who is not divine.
