Apocalypse 21:22

22 Je ne vis point de temple dans la ville; car le Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant est son temple, ainsi que l'agneau.

Apocalypse 21:22 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 21:22

And I saw no temple therein
No material temple, as was in the old Jerusalem, or such as is described in Ezekiel's vision; nor any place of public worship, as under the Gospel dispensation; for in this state there will be no such external form of worship as now, such as preaching the word and administering ordinances. The Jews expect a third temple, but in vain.

For the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple of it;
God will be immediately present with his people, whose face they shall see, and whom they will serve in the most pure and spiritual manner; and Christ in his human nature, in the temple of his body, that tabernacle which God pitched, and not man, which is filled with the train of the divine perfections, and in which the fulness of the Godhead dwells bodily, will be the only medium of the divine Presence, and of the communications of glory to men, and of the saints' praise to God, which will be the service they will be employed in; and the Lamb being joined with the Lord God Almighty, shows his deity and his equality with his Father.

Apocalypse 21:22 In-Context

20 le cinquième de sardonyx, le sixième de sardoine, le septième de chrysolithe, le huitième de béryl, le neuvième de topaze, le dixième de chrysoprase, le onzième d'hyacinthe, le douzième d'améthyste.

21 Les douze portes étaient douze perles; chaque porte était d'une seule perle. La place de la ville était d'or pur, comme du verre transparent.

22 Je ne vis point de temple dans la ville; car le Seigneur Dieu tout-puissant est son temple, ainsi que l'agneau.

23 La ville n'a besoin ni du soleil ni de la lune pour l'éclairer; car la gloire de Dieu l'éclaire, et l'agneau est son flambeau.

24 Les nations marcheront à sa lumière, et les rois de la terre y apporteront leur gloire.
