What Does Revelation 22:3 Mean?
The promise reaches back over the whole story of Scripture. The curse that fell in Eden, the ground that yielded thorns, the long shadow of death, is lifted entirely. In its place stands the throne of God and of the Lamb, and around it a people who belong to him.
To serve here is not burden but joy. The servants of God draw near to the throne not in fear but in glad nearness, the work of worship that the heart was made for. Every sorrow that the curse introduced is undone, and what remains is unbroken communion with the God who reigns. This is the homecoming the soul has always longed for.
