Commentary on Revelation 22:3

Theological / Devotional

Curse. Gr. katathēma, “the thing [or “person”] cursed.” The word is probably to be distinguished from anathēma, a curse pronounced as a sentence upon some thing or some person.

Throne. This suggests that God and Christ will reign in the city. This is possible because no accursed thing will be found there.

Shall serve. Gr. latreuō, “to serve,” “to worship,” “to minister.” The word refers to normal, natural, spontaneous serving, and is distinguished from leitourgeō, the word that means official service, service in an appointed office (see Ex. 29:30, LXX).
