Revelation 22:5

Revelation 22:5

3 And ^athere shall be no more curse, ^bbut the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His ^cservants shall serve Him.

4 ^aThey shall see His face, and ^bHis name shall be on their foreheads.

5 ^aThere shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor ^blight of the sun, for ^cthe Lord God gives them light. ^dAnd they shall reign forever and ever.

The Time Is Near

6 Then he said to me, ^a“These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the¹ holy prophets ^bsent His angel to show His servants the things which must ^cshortly take place.

7 ^a“Behold, I am coming quickly! ^bBlessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

there—so ANDREAS. But A, B, Vulgate, and Syriac read, "(there shall be no night) any longer"; Greek, "eti," for "ekei."

they need—A, Vulgate, and Coptic read the future, "they shall not have need." B reads, "(and there shall be) no need."

candle—Greek, "lamp." A, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic insert "light (of a candle, or lamp)." B Omits it.

of the sun—so A. But B omits it.

giveth . . . light—"illumines." So Vulgate and Syriac. But A reads, "shall give light."

them—so B and ANDREAS. But A reads, "upon them."

reign—with a glory probably transcending that of their reign in heaven with Christ over the millennial nations in the flesh described in Revelation 20:4, Revelation 20:6; that reign was but for a limited time, "a thousand years"; this final reign is "unto the ages of the ages."
