The city will not need the sun or moon, because it will be bathed in light by the glory of God (Revelation 21:23).

Revelation promises: “nothing impure will ever enter it” (Revelation 21:27).

Revelation describes pure waters and abundant vegetation (Revelation 22:1-2).

“No longer will there be any curse” (Revelation 22:3). (Referring back to Genesis 3:17-19).

As for our relationship with God, “they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads” (Revelation 22:4).

Revelation concludes by offering an invitation. “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life” (Revelation 22:17).
