Charles Ellicott Commentary Revelation 21:24

"And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it." — Revelation 21:24 (ASV)

And the nations of them which are saved . . .—We must omit, with the best manuscripts, the words of them which are saved, and read, And the nations shall walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth carry their glory into her. The outlook of the prophet is from the loneliness and depression of the then persecuted and despised churches; but in the vision he sees her beautiful and enlarged and honoured. All nations and peoples flock within the walls: it is the echo of the ancient prophecies. All kings shall fall down before Him: all nations shall serve Him. The Church and kingdom of Christ increase without end; and all will cast their glory at His feet, and call Him blessed in whom all have been blessed (Psalms 72:11; Psalms 72:17).
