THE GLORY OF THE LORD GIVES LIGHT TO THE CITY OF GOD

 

22 I did not see a Temple in the City,

Because the Lord God Almighty

And the Lamb are its Temple.

23 The City does not need the Sun

Or the Moon to Shine on it,

FOR THE GLORY OF THE LORD

GIVES IT LIGHT,

AND THE LAMB IS ITS LAMP.

24 The Nations will Walk by its Light,

And the kings of the Earth

Will Bring their Splendor into it.

25 On No Day will its Gates

Ever be Shut,

FOR THERE WILL BE NO NIGHT THERE.

26 The Glory and Honor of the Nations

Will be Brought into it.

27 NOTHING IMPURE WILL EVER ENTER IT,

Nor Anyone who Does

What is Shameful or Deceitful,

BUT ONLY THOSE

WHOSE NAMES ARE WRITTEN

IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.

(Revelation 21:22-27, NIV)
