Revelation 22:5

Read in context

Revelation 22:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be within the city, and His servants will worship Him.

4 They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.

5 There will be no more night in the city, and they will have no need for the light of a lamp or of the sun. For the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.

6 Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place.”

7 “Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book.”
