Bible Commentary for Revelation 21:25

Wesley's Notes for Revelation 21:25


21:23 The glory of God - Infinitely brighter than the shining of the sun.

21:24 And the nations - The whole verse is taken from #Isaiah 60:3|. Shall walk by the light thereof - Which throws itself outward from the city far and near. And the kings of the earth - Those of them who have a part there. Bring their glory into it - Not their old glory, which is now abolished; but such as becomes the new earth, and receives an immense addition by their entrance into the city.

21:26 And they shall bring the glory of the nations into it - It seems, a select part of each nation; that is, all which can contribute to make this city honourable and glorious shall be found in it; as if all that was rich and precious throughout the world was brought into one city.

21:27 Common - That is. unholy. But those who are written in the Lamb's book of life - True, holy, persevering believers. This blessedness is enjoyed by those only; and, as such, they are registered among them who are to inherit eternal life.



People's Bible Notes for Revelation 21:25


Re 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut by day. The gates were never shut. This implies, first, that the city has no fear of any foes. These have all been conquered and subdued. The struggles have been ended forever and no enemies remain to invade its happy precincts. It implies, in the second place, that "the nations of the saved" (Re 21:24) can always enter. There is always admittance freely to those "who have the right to . . . enter in through the gate into the city" (Re 22:14).
