What Does Revelation 21:26 Mean?
This brief verse repeats and confirms the theme of the nations bringing their glory and honor into the city. The repetition underlines its importance: the wealth and beauty of the peoples are gathered into the presence of God.
Nothing truly good is lost in the new creation. The achievements, cultures, and honest glories of the nations are not erased but offered up and welcomed in. What humanity has made that is beautiful and true finds its proper place at last, laid before the Lord in worship. For the reader, this is a quiet dignity granted to human history: the good that God's people and the nations have brought forth is carried into eternity, honored in the city where God dwells.
