Commentary on Revelation 21:22

Theological / Devotional

Temple. Gr. naos, the word for the sanctuary is confined to the holy and most holy places, not including the outer courts and other buildings. For hieron, the word for the entire sacred enclosure, see on Luke 2:46; Rev. 3:12.

The earthly sanctuary was symbolic of the dwelling place of God. Because of their sin Adam and Eve were driven from Eden and the presence of God. When sin has been removed, the church will again be able to dwell in His presence, and no structure will be required to symbolize the dwelling of God.
