Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 21:1-27

The Marriage of the Lamb Revelation 19:1-10 ; Revelation 21:1-27 and Revelation 22:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Old Testament analogies of the coming Marriage in the skies. It is not difficult to find, in both the Old and the New Testaments, delightful foreshadowings of the coming Heavenly nuptials. (1) There is the first marriage in Eden. Eve was the bride typical of the Bride of Christ. Observe the following: Adam was put to sleep; Christ was put to sleep. Adam's side was opened; Christ's... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 21:25

THE NIGHT PASSED‘There shall be no night there.’ Revelation 21:25 What does darkness stand for? Of what is it often spoken of as a type? I. Darkness is the equivalent of uncertainty.—Only when we see no more ‘through a glass darkly,’ but ‘face to face,’ only when the great enigma has been solved, shall we know even as we are known. And that is what St. John meant as he gazed upon the heavenly city, New Jerusalem, into which the kings of the earth had brought their honour and glory. There was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:15-17

‘And he who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city and its gates and its wall. And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth, and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs (stadia), and its length and breadth and height are equal. And he measured its wall, one hundred and forty four cubits according to the measure of man, that is of an angel.’ For the measuring reed compare Ezekiel 40:3 and Revelation 11:1. The fact that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:18

‘And the building of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold like pure glass.’ The jasper is presumably similar to the jasper of Revelation 21:11, clear as crystal which, with the glass-like nature of the city, demonstrates its purity and righteousness. The mention that it is made of gold stresses that it is beyond price and demonstrates its magnificence. Even Solomon’s Temple and Herod’s Temple pale into insignificance beside it. It again indicates its identity with the inner Sanctuary. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:19-20

‘The foundations of the walls of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stone, the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth, emerald, the fifth, sardonyx, the sixth, sardius, the seventh, chrysolite, the eighth, beryl, the ninth, topaz, the tenth, chrysoprase, the eleventh iacinth, the twelfth, amethyst,’ Identification of the stones is not possible on our present state of knowledge, but they are probably intended to parallel the stones in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:21

‘And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each one of the several gates was one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.’ In Matthew 7:6 pearls represented what was holy and precious, compare the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:46). Gold again is symbolic of the holy sanctuary, where all is made of gold. The transparency may well denote total openness and honesty. The city contains all that is most splendid. We can compare many of these splendours with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:22-23

‘And I saw no Temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple. And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God did lighten it and its lamp is the Lamb.’ No temple is needed for the Lord God walks within it. He and the Lamb are its Temple, i.e. men worship directly and personally face to face. It has no need of any light other than the light of God and the Lamb (compare Isaiah 60:19). The whole place is filled with Their glory.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:24

‘And the nations shall walk by means of its light (the light of the glory of the Lord), and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it, and its entrances will never be shut by day, for there will be no night there, and they will bring the honour and the glory of the nations into it.’ The city is made up of the people of God and among the people of God there will be kings and many nations (compare Isaiah 60:3: Psalms 72:11), and they will bring into the city all that they have which is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:27

‘And under no circumstances will anything unclean enter it, or he who makes an abomination and a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.’ This final sentence confirms all we have said. The city only consists of those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. It is only for the true people of God. No ‘living nations’ can enter it if they are not of the people of God, for it is for the people of God and for them alone. Totally excluded (because they have been... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 21:1-27

Revelation 21:1 to Revelation 22:5 . The Vision of the New Jerusalem.— The doctrine of the new heaven and the new earth goes back to Isaiah 65:17, and is derived from the belief that the present world was so corrupt that it could not possibly be the seat of the Messianic kingdom, at any rate in its present condition. The idea was developed in the apocalyptic literature, especially in Ethiopic Enoch, the Apocalypse of Baruch , , 4 Ezra. Some expositors hold that the New Jerusalem was... read more
