Therefore--because they are so washed white; for without it they could never have entered God's holy heaven; Rev 22:14, "Blessed are those who wash their robes (the oldest manuscripts reading), that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city"; Rev 21:27; Eph 5:26-27. before--Greek, "in the presence of." Mat 5:8; Co1 13:12, "face to face." throne . . . temple--These are connected because we can approach the heavenly King only through priestly mediation; therefore, Christ is at once King and Priest on His throne. day and night--that is, perpetually; as those approved of as priests by the Sanhedrim were clothed in white, and kept by turns a perpetual watch in the temple at Jerusalem; compare as to the singers, Ch1 9:33, "day and night"; Psa 134:1. Strictly "there is no night" in the heavenly sanctuary (Rev 22:5). in his temple--in what is the heavenly analogue to His temple on earth, for strictly there is "no temple therein" (Rev 21:22), "God and the Lamb are the temple" filling the whole, so that there is no distinction of sacred and secular places; the city is the temple, and the temple the city. Compare Rev 4:8, "the four living creatures rest not day and night, saying, Holy," &c. shall dwell among them--rather (Greek, "scenosei ep' autous"), "shall be the tabernacle over them" (compare Rev 21:3; Lev 26:11, especially Isa 4:5-6; Isa 8:14; Isa 25:4; Eze 37:27). His dwelling among them is to be understood as a secondary truth, besides what is expressed, namely, His being their covert. When once He tabernacled among us as the Word made flesh, He was in great lowliness; then He shall be in great glory.

وَلاَ تَكُونُ لَعْنَةٌ مَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ. وَعَرْشُ اللهِ وَالْخَرُوفِ يَكُونُ فِيهَا، وَعَبِيدُهُ يَخْدِمُونَهُ.
وَأَيَّةُ مُوَافَقَةٍ لِهَيْكَلِ اللهِ مَعَ الأَوْثَانِ؟ فَإِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ هَيْكَلُ اللهِ الْحَيِّ، كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ:«إِنِّي سَأَسْكُنُ فِيهِمْ وَأَسِيرُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلهًا، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا.
نَاظِرِينَ إِلَى رَئِيسِ الإِيمَانِ وَمُكَمِّلِهِ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِ السُّرُورِ الْمَوْضُوعِ أَمَامَهُ، احْتَمَلَ الصَّلِيبَ مُسْتَهِينًا بِالْخِزْيِ، فَجَلَسَ فِي يَمِينِ عَرْشِ اللهِ.
وَالْكَلِمَةُ صَارَ جَسَدًا وَحَلَّ بَيْنَنَا، وَرَأَيْنَا مَجْدَهُ، مَجْدًا كَمَا لِوَحِيدٍ مِنَ الآبِ، مَمْلُوءًا نِعْمَةً وَحَقًّا.
لأَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَالَ: «قَدْ أَرَاحَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبَهُ فَسَكَنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.
وَلاَ يَكُونُ لَيْلٌ هُنَاكَ، وَلاَ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى سِرَاجٍ أَوْ نُورِ شَمْسٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلهَ يُنِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ سَيَمْلِكُونَ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.
أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ هَيْكَلُ اللهِ، وَرُوحُ اللهِ يَسْكُنُ فِيكُمْ؟
وَانْفَتَحَ هَيْكَلُ اللهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَظَهَرَ تَابُوتُ عَهْدِهِ فِي هَيْكَلِهِ، وَحَدَثَتْ بُرُوقٌ وَأَصْوَاتٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَزَلْزَلَةٌ وَبَرَدٌ عَظِيمٌ.
بَعْدَ هذَا نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعُدَّهُ، مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ وَالْقَبَائِلِ وَالشُّعُوبِ وَالأَلْسِنَةِ، وَاقِفُونَ أَمَامَ الْعَرْشِ وَأَمَامَ الْخَرُوفِ، مُتَسَرْبِلِينَ بِثِيَابٍ بِيضٍ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمْ سَعَفُ النَّخْلِ
وَحَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ عَرْشًا. وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى الْعُرُوشِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ شَيْخًا جَالِسِينَ مُتَسَرْبِلِينَ بِثِيَابٍ بِيضٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ أَكَالِيلُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.
