The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 22:3-5

Subjective Christianity: 3. An empire. "There shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him," etc. Here is a state, not a mere life, but a state in which that life is found—an empire. "The kingdom of God is within you." The words lead us to look at this inner kingdom in three aspects. I. AS ENTIRE FREEDOM FROM MALEDICTION . "There shall be no more curse." The soul that comes under the living reign of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:1

And he showed me a pure river of water of life - In the New Jerusalem; the happy abode of the redeemed. The phrase “water of life,” means living or running water, like a spring or fountain, as contrasted with a stagnant pool. See the notes on John 4:14. The allusion here is doubtless to the first Eden, where a river watered the garden (Genesis 2:10, seq.), and as this is a description of Eden recovered, or Paradise regained, it was natural to introduce a river of water also, yet in such a way... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:2

In the midst of the street of it - Prof. Stuart renders this, “between the street thereof and the river”; and says that “the writer conceives of the river as running through the whole city; then of streets parallel to it on either side; and then, on the banks of the river, between the water and the street, the whole stream is lined on either side with two rows of the tree of life.” The more common interpretation, however, is doubtless admissible, and would give a more beautiful image; that in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 22:3

And there shall be no more curse - This is doubtless designed to be in strong contrast with our present abode; and it is affirmed that what now properly comes under the name of a curse, or whatever is part of the curse pronounced on man by the fall, will be there unknown. The earth will be no more cursed, and will produce no more thorns and thistles; man will be no more compelled to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow; woman will be no more doomed to bear the sufferings which she does now;... read more

Revelation 22:1-2. And Proceeding with his description of the heavenly city, the apostle observes, he That is, the angel who condescended to be his guide on this occasion; showed me a pure river of the water of life The ever fresh and fructifying influence of the Holy Spirit; see Ezekiel 47:1-12, where also the trees are mentioned which bear fruit every month, that is, perpetually. Proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb All things that the Father hath, saith the Son of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 22:3-5

Revelation 22:3-5. And then too there shall be no more curse As there is in this present world, and has been ever since the fall of man; but only pure life and blessing, every effect of the displeasure of God for sin being now totally removed; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it That is, the glorious presence and reign of God and the Lamb; and his servants The most honourable title in the universe; shall serve him The noblest employment. And they shall see his face... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 22:1-5

Life in the holy city (21:22-22:5)No temple is needed in the city, because God is everywhere. Lights, whether natural or artificial, are unnecessary, because God’s glory fills every place (22-23). Other cities close their gates at night to prevent possible enemy attacks, but this city never closes its gates, because there is no night and no enemy. People of all nations inhabit the city, adding colour and splendour, yet there is complete purity, because sin is excluded (24-27).Although the... read more
