Revelation 21:24, 26

Posted by joncooper

Revelation 21:24: “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.

26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.”

So, then, not everyone lives in the New Jerusalem – there are people who live elsewhere, and they bring things into the city.

This also tells us that there are still kings and nations in the New Earth. In other words, God has not put an end to all governments. However, there is a key difference: these nations bring their glory and honor into the New Jerusalem, where God dwells. They use their wealth to glorify God, not to make much of themselves. Heaven is not a place where everyone is saying “Look at how great I am!”; instead it is a place where everyone’s attention is focused on God.
