The nature of that splendor is described in the following verses.And her light - In Revelation 21:23 it is said that “the glory of God did lighten it.” That is, it was made light by the visible symbol of the Deity - the “Shekinah.” See the Luke 2:9 note; Acts 9:3 note.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 21:9-21

New Jerusalem (21:9-21)God’s redeemed people, who in a previous picture were seen as the bride of the Lamb (see 19:6-10; 21:2), are now symbolized by a holy city, the new Jerusalem. This city comes from God, for it was built by God. It is not something of human creation. People are saved by God’s grace, not by their own achievements (9-10).The city is glorious and indestructible, and the people who live in it are eternally secure. All believers, whether of the era before Christ or after, are... read more

John had needed no such vantage point as this for viewing the great whore (Revelation 17:3); but it was only from such a lofty pinnacle as this that he could behold the glory of the Lamb's wife.

having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:A jasper ... clear as crystal ... See more on this stone under Revelation 4:3, above. "The jasper, which probably represents the modern diamond, is the characteristic of him who sat on the throne (Revelation 4:3)."[29] Thus, the redeemed church will have the same appearance as that of the Lord himself. read more

Revelation 21:9-27. There came unto me one of the seven angels, &c.— A more particular description is now given of the new Jerusalem. One of the seven angels (and most probably the same who had, ch.

(Revelation 21:10.) in the same manner as the prophet was brought in the visions of God,... read more
