What Does Revelation 21:24 Mean?
The vision widens to take in the nations. Those who are saved from among all the peoples walk in the light of the city, and even the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. The scope is global; this is not a refuge for one people only.
The picture fulfills the prophets' hope that all nations would stream to the light of God and bring their treasures to honor Him (Isaiah 60:3). The honest glory of human cultures is not destroyed but offered up, taken into the city and laid before God. For the reader, this is a hopeful and expansive vision: the gospel reaches every nation, and the redeemed of all the earth find their home and their light in God, bringing the best of what they are to lay at His feet.
