Study note
Setting — John records a vision of the New Jerusalem delivered by a speaking voice, describing the final condition of the city after the old order has passed.
The words — οἴσουσιν (oisousin) translates literally as “they will bring,” and τιμὴν (timēn) means “honor.”
The thread — This action directly parallels Revelation 21:24, where the kings of the earth bring their glory into the city, and operates within the continuous gate policy of Revelation 21:25.
Why it lands — The text states that the nations contribute their glory and honor to the city, which Revelation 21:27 clarifies as a space that admits only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
