21:22
There was no temple in the city. Why? Because the Lord God Himself and the Lamb were its temple. The Old Testament temple, along with the Law, were a shadow of the reality that was to come. We need to recognise what is temporal and what is eternal, and it is always the best that is eternal. God dwells with man. John 14:23 says that God the Father and the Son will make their home with us.
21:23
Just as the city did not need a temple, it did not need the sun or the moon. For the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.Everything emanates from God. Some people worship the sun, worship the created, but this is a very silly thing to do. The sun only exists because God created it, and it only gives light because God created it so.
