The New Jerusalem - Something To Look Forward To!!!
Rev. 21:24 - Who are these nations that walk amidst the light of this city?
The New Jerusalem will not have need of the sun nor the moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God will lighten it and the lamp of it will be the Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ.
“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." (21:24). Who are these nations that walk amidst the light of this city?
The people who will be in that new Jerusalem will be the saved (O.T. & N.T.) from this earth. All of them will be there and they will live in that marvelous city. This being true, who will be the nations that shall live out upon this earth and whose kings will bring their glory into the city? It seems quite likely, in view of all the facts, that these nations will be a new race (Millennial Saints) which God will renew and perpetuate, when He brings the eternal order into existence. They will increase and multiply and fill that enormous earth with innumerable ("sand of the sea") inhabitants. - Genesis 32:12
But the glorious thing is that they will not sin nor do wrong. Neither will the devil have access to any of them, for he will have been cast into the lake of fire where he and all of the lost, together with his angels, shall be confined for ever and ever. Thus sin will never strike this new earth. There will be no sickness nor any disease.
It seems from the last verses of chapter 21 that this new Jerusalem will be the center of attraction upon this great enormous earth. There will be no night there. Day will reign supreme. The people of the earth will constantly bring their glory and their honor into it. In the closing statement of chapter 21, John informs us that the inhabitants of the new Jerusalem will be those only whose names have been written in the Lamb's book of life.
