Revelation 21:27 - Exposition

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie; anything unclean, or he that doeth an abomination, and a lie. It is thus evident that "the nations" of Revelation 21:24 are among the redeemed (cf. Isaiah 52:1 , "O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean"). The lot of such as are here described is the lake of fire ( Revelation 21:8 ); cf. the "abomination" of the harlot ( Revelation 17:4 , Revelation 17:5 ). (On "lie," cf. Revelation 2:2 ; Revelation 3:9 . "Unclean, cf. Revelation 3:4 ; Revelation 14:4 .) But they which are written in the Lamb's book of life; but only they, etc. (cf. Revelation 3:5 ; Revelation 13:8 ; Revelation 17:8 ; Revelation 20:12 , Revelation 20:15 ).
