Openbaring 21:26 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 21:26

And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into
it.
] The glory of the nations are the people of God, who, though they are reckoned the filth of the world, are the excellent in the earth; these will be brought into this city, and be presented to the King of it, in a glorious manner, and that by the kings of the earth; either such who have been ecclesiastical rulers over them, who will introduce them as their joy and crown of rejoicing; or who have been political governors of them, their fathers and protectors; or the sense is as before, that whatever is great and glorious in the nations of the world, will be counted as nothing in comparison of the glory and magnificence of this state, and not to be mentioned with it: the Arabic version renders it, "the nations shall bring glory and honour to it"; in the sense before given.

Openbaring 21:26 In-Context

24 En de volken, die zalig worden, zullen in haar licht wandelen; en de koningen der aarde brengen hun heerlijkheid en eer in dezelve.
25 En haar poorten zullen niet gesloten worden des daags; want aldaar zal geen nacht zijn.
26 En zij zullen de heerlijkheid en de eer der volken daarin brengen.
27 En in haar zal niet inkomen iets, dat ontreinigt, en gruwelijkheid doet, en leugen spreekt; maar die geschreven zijn in het boek des levens des Lams.
