Charles Spurgeon Commentary Revelation 21:22

"And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof." — Revelation 21:22 (ASV)

And I saw no temple therein.

For it was all one temple.

And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

It has a temple, that better state, that land of the Well-beloved, but not a material temple that John could see, yet he knew that it had a temple, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. Where they are is the holy place where all the tribes of the spiritual Israel shall be gathered at the last to go no more out for ever. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb have a glory far greater than Solomon's temple ever had, and far greater even than that later temple which excelled even his in glory.
