Revelation 21:7 NASB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:1-8

We have here a more general account of the happiness of the church of God in the future state, by which it seems most safe to understand the heavenly state. I. A new world now opens to our view (Rev. 21:1): I saw a new heaven and a new earth; that is, a new universe; for we suppose the world to be made up of heaven and earth. By the new earth we may understand a new state for the bodies of men, as well as a heaven for their souls. This world is not now newly created, but newly opened, and... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 21:7-8

21:7-8 "He who overcomes will enter into possession of these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowards, the unbelieving, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all the liars--their part is in the lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." The bliss is not to everyone but only to him who remains faithful when everything seeks to seduce him from his loyalty. To such a man God makes the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 21:7

He that overcometh ,.... All spiritual enemies, sin, Satan, and the world, the antichristian beast, his image, mark, and number of his name; who is more than a conqueror through Christ; one that perseveres to the end, notwithstanding all temptations, trials, and difficulties; See Gill on Revelation 2:7 , shall inherit all things ; the kingdom of Christ in the new Jerusalem state, and all things in it; heaven, eternal glory and happiness, and everlasting salvation; yea, God himself, who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 21:1-8

The spiritual kingdom. Now , to the eye of the weary seer—and in him to the eye of the weary, suffering Church—there appear new scenes. The darkness is past. The judgments of the Lord upon the evil powers, and upon all who take part with them as antagonists of the good, the pure, and the true, are passed away. And to the comfort of the waiting, faithful ones, who endure "as seeing him who is invisible," the vision of the blessedness of the righteous in the kingdom of their Father is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 21:5-8

The new moral creation. "And he said unto me, Write, for these words are true and faithful," etc. Some remarks on the new moral creation were offered in our last homily, and were suggested by the last clause of the fifth verse. The subject now is the one matchless Creator. Who is he that brings into existence on our planet a new order of spiritual things, that creates a new moral heavens and earth? The representation here gives us to understand that he is One who is all-truthful,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 21:7

He that overcometh shall inherit all things. The correct reading makes the sense plain: He that overcometh shall inherit these things, i.e. the promises just enumerated. These words show the reason for the words of Revelation 21:6 ; and may be called the text on which the Apocalypse is based (cf. Revelation 2:1-29 .); for, though the words themselves do not often recur, yet the spirit of them is constantly appearing (cf. Revelation 12:11 ; see also John 16:33 ). And I will be his... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 21:7

The predominant practical purpose of the Apocalypse. "He that over-cometh," etc. At the beginning of this book—in the epistles to the seven Churches—we had this repeated promise, "to him that overcometh." And its reiteration there as well as here alike proves that the purpose of this book was an intently practical one. It was not given to furnish food for mere mental or sentimental musings, or to be only a treasure house of poetical imagery. Far other and higher than these were the ends... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 21:7

He that overcometh - See the notes on Revelation 2:7.Shall inherit all things - Be an heir of God in all things. See the notes on Romans 8:17.
