Revelation 21:24

Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"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 shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

This is the Church of the latter days; the beginning of the heavenly state, a true type of what the eternal glory of the saints will be. The Church will no longer, like her Lord, be despised and rejected of men; but the highest and greatest among men will count it an honour and glory to be permitted to share its blessings and triumphs.

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

The Church will be the metropolis of the world; it will be honoured and esteemed among the nations of mankind. When people are godly, then will they reverence the abode of God, namely, the living Church, built up of living stones, upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ.
