Bible Commentary

Revelation 22:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light; and there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun: for the Lord God shall shine upon them.

A repetition of Revelation 21:23, Revelation 21:25 (which see). In Revelation 21:23 we are told "the Lamb is the Light thereof;" here, "the Lord God shineth upon them." Again an assertion of the Divinity of the Son (cf.

Revelation 21:3). And they shall reign forever and ever. This prediction and promise ends the Revelation, as such. It is the reward placed before those who strive, in order to induce them to "overcome" (see on verse 5 above, and Revelation 3:12).
