Revelation 21: 22-27

Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
 
Now we discover that there will be no temple, because there is no need for one. We will not need any kind of structure to worship God in other than the Holy City of God. There will also be no need for any light because the the Lamb of God will be all the light we need along with the glory of God. We will not have need of the the sun and moon. All that are saved and whose names are written in the Lambs book life will walk in the light of that shines all the time because there will be night. All will bring there glory and honor into the temple and can do it anytime because the gates of the city will never be shut. Even the nations, meaning all kinds of people no matter what nationality, will bring there glory and honor in. The gates do not have to be shut now because no one will have to worry about anyone stealing anything anymore, this is a place of peace and safety and refreshment where people can rest from labors. We are reassured that there will be no one that works any abomination or lies or sins in any way because all of that has passed away and everything has been made new and again only those whose names are written in Lambs book of life will be there.
