This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
25. καὶ οἱ πυλῶνες. Isa 60:11. But the latter prophet speaks of a further glory than the earlier: Isaiah recognises the succession of day and night, while St John sees that in that perpetual day the gates cannot need to be closed. In an earthly city they are not closed by day except in time of war; but even in perfect peace they are closed every night (cf. Neh 13:19); here the daylight is as perpetual as the peace.
