Revelation 22:5
Revelation 22:5: “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 they shall reign for ever and ever.”
In the New Jerusalem, as we saw before, there will be no night. That does not mean that the New Earth has no sun, or that the other nations don’t experience night; it just means that that city does not need the sunlight or any other light source, because the light in the city comes from God Himself. His glory lights the entire city.
Here we have another sneak peek at what we’ll be doing for all the ages of time: “and they shall reign for ever and ever”. The privilege of reigning with Christ is not something that only happens during the Millennial Kingdom and then ends; it will extend on forever.
