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.
There. So Andreas; but 'Aleph (') A B, Vulgate Syriac, 'there shall be no night any longer' х eti (G2089) for ekei (G1563)]. Moses tells of paradise lost; John, paradise regained. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth:" so 'Jesus, a new heaven and a new earth.' Satan, the old serpent, victorious at the beginning; Satan cast into the lake fire at the close. Then the curse (Genesis 3:17): now "no more curse" (Revelation 22:3). Then death: now "no more death" (Revelation 21:4). Then exclusion from the tree of life: now its restoration (Revelation 2:7). Night appointed, Genesis 1:5: "no night there" twice repeated (Revelation 21:5; Revelation 22:5): neither literal nor figurative toil, ignorance, sorrow.
They need. So 'Aleph ('); but A, Vulgate, Coptic, future, 'they shall not have need;' B, '(there shall be) no need.'
Candle - `lamp.' 'Aleph (') A, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, insert, 'light (of a candle, or lamp);' B omits.
Of the sun. So 'Aleph ('); but A B omits.
Giveth ... light - `illumines.' So Vulgate, Syriac; but 'Aleph (') B A, 'shall give light.'
Them. So B, Andreas; but 'Aleph (') A, 'upon them.'
Reign - with a glory transcending that of their reign in heaven with Christ over the millennial nations (Revelation 20:4; Revelation 20:6): that reign was but for a time - "a thousand years:" this is 'unto the ages of the ages.'
