Revelation 21:23
Compare all
21 The twelve gates were twelve apearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. bAnd the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.  

The Glory of the New Jerusalem

22 aBut I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.  
23 aThe city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine1 in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.  
24 aAnd the nations1 of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor2 into it.  
25 aIts gates shall not be shut at all by day b(there shall be no night there).  
26 aAnd they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into1 it.  
27 But athere shall by no means enter it anything1 that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s bBook of Life.

Revelation 21:23

No need of the sun - This is also one of the traditions of the ancient Jews, that "in the world to come the Israelites shall have no need of the sun by day, nor the moon by night." - Yalcut Rubeni, fol. 7, 3. God' s light shines in this city, and in the Lamb that light is concentrated, and from him everywhere diffused.
