Verses 17 and 20 seem to have reference to the early Christian text, the Didache.  According to that text, the prayer of thanksgiving (Eucharist) that was offered with the bread and wine during the sacrament of the Lord's supper was "If any man is holy, let him come....  Maran Atha [Come, Lord].  Amen."  (See the full text [[http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/didache-lightfoot.html|here]].)  These connections end the book of Revelation on the same note with which it began: that of the sacrament of the Lord's supper.  Apparently the whole of the text should be read in connection with the sacrament, as bearing on the sacrament, and perhaps as a dramatic embodiment of the sacrament.
