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



Ver. 22. No temple] No need of external worships and ordinances; for they are all taught of God; they see his face and hear his voice. Now we see but in part, because we prophesy but in part, 1Co_13:9. They that understand it of the Church on earth, say, there is no temple in opposition to the Jewish temple, but a gospel temple. But, Rev_21:25; "There shall be no night there," as here no temple. Now we shall not be above ordinances till above sin; which will not be in this world.
