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.
All the nations that made it through will live in this incredible light, and even the most powerful leaders on earth will bring their best treasures and achievements to honor this place.
Everyone who's saved gets to live in God's light, and even world leaders will show up with their finest gifts.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Revelation, written by the apostle John around AD 90-95 during the Roman persecution of Christians under Emperor Domitian, this verse is part of a visionary description of the New Jerusalem, symbolizing the final restoration of God's creation. It draws from Old Testament prophecies, such as those in Isaiah, where nations and kings are depicted as coming to worship God in His holy city, emphasizing the inclusion of all peoples in the ultimate kingdom. This imagery served to encourage early believers that their suffering would end in a glorious, unified future under God's rule.
