Revelation 21:27There shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth.The barrierI. The word of exclusion. This is no arbitrary decree, it is a solemn declaration to which all holy spirits give their willing assent and consent; an ordinance of which even the excluded themselves shall admit the justice.1. For, first, it is not meet that so royal and divine a corporation as the glorified Church of God should be ruined by defilement. God forbid that “her light, which is like unto a stone... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:15

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. Ver. 15. Had a golden reed ] Not those twelve Trent articles, or any human invention, but the word, as Revelation 11:1 , wherewith is measured not the temple only, as there, but the city, gates, and wall, as Ezekiel 40:1-49 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:16

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. Ver. 16. And the city lieth four square ] So was Babylon of old (as Herodotus describeth it), which yet was taken by Cyrus, Alexander, and various other enemies. Heaven also is taken, but by another kind of violence than by force of arms. The solid square whereby it is here set forth commends... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:17

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. Ver. 17. An hundred and twenty four cubits ] A cubit is six handfuls. That is, of the angel ] That appeared as a man, but bigger and higher than ordinary; now because this holy city is thus measured, and that with the measure of a man, some think it to be of the Church militant. But some other passages in this and the following chapters cannot be otherwise... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:18

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. Ver. 18. Was of jasper ] A stone of great worth and glory, the beauty whereof, saith one, it is easier to admire than to declare. It hath a variety of sweetness in it; such as none of the most cunning wits and sharpest eyes are able to distinguish. Heaven (we are sure) is such as eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, &c. Sermo non valet exprimere, experimento opus est. Words are too... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:19

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; Ver. 19. And the foundations ] The apostles and their faithful successors, who were puriores caelo, saith Chrysostom, clearer than the sky, the very stars of the world and flowers of the Churches, as Basil calleth them. The twelve patriarchs have,Exodus 28:15-21; Exodus 28:15-21 , each of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:20

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. Ver. 20. The fifth, sardonyx ] Search is here made through all the bowels of the earth for something of worth to shadow out the saints’ happiness; which if it could be fully known (as it cannot) it would be no strange thing or thankworthy for the most horrible Belialist to become presently the holiest saint,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:21

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. Ver. 21. And the twelve gates ] i.e. Gatekeepers, preachers of the righteousness that is by faith. Were twelve pearls ] All which do receive their lustre and worth from Christ, that pearl of price,Matthew 13:45-46; Matthew 13:45-46 , like as the pearl by being often beaten upon by the sunbeams, becometh radiant as the sun. Was pure gold... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 21:22

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. Ver. 22. No temple ] No need of external worships and ordinances; for they are all taught of God; they see his face and hear his voice. Now we see but in part, because we prophesy but in part, 1 Corinthians 13:9 . They that understand it of the Church on earth, say, there is no temple in opposition to the Jewish temple, but a gospel temple. But, Revelation 21:25 ; "There shall be no night there," as... read more
