Charles Spurgeon Commentary Revelation 21:25

"And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):" — Revelation 21:25 (ASV)

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

Well did Dr. Doddridge sing:

"No rude alarms of raging foes
No cares to break the long repose
No midnight shade, no clouded sun
But saved, high, eternal noon."

The saints will then be able to bear that eternal noontide, for the sun shall not smite them by day; and they will have no need of the night which is now so necessary for resting our wearied bodies and minds, so there shall be no night there. There will also be no night of sorrow, no night of sin, no night of death in that blessed land of light.

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

There will be no need to shut out enemies at night, for the day shall continue. The Church's most intimate communion with God, her constant fellowship with the heavens, will have begun then.
