Rev. 7:9‑17• 9After these things I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
 10and they cry with a loud voice, saying, The salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb.
 11And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God,
 12saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the strength to our God unto the ages of the ages. [Amen.]

 14And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
 15Therefore are they before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sitteth on the throne shall tabernacle over them.
 16They shall hunger no more neither thirst any more nor in any wise shall the sun fall upon them nor any heat.

Rev. 21:10‑26• 10And he carried me away in {i}the{/i} Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, having the glory of God.
 11Its light {i}was{/i} like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal;
 12it had a wall great and high; it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of {i}the{/i} sons of Israel:
 13on {i}the{/i} east three gates, and on {i}the{/i} north three gates, and on {i}the{/i} south three gates, and on {i}the{/i} west three gates.
 14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 15And he that talked with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and the gates of it and the wall of it.
 16And the city lieth quadrangular, and the length of it {i}is{/i} as much as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed (twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
 17And he measured the wall of it, an hundred forty {i}and{/i} four cubits, a man's measure which is of {i}the{/i} angel.
 18And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold like pure glass.
 19The foundations of the wall of the city {i}were{/i} adorned with every precious stone; the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
 20the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolyte, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprasus, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
 21And the twelve gates {i}were{/i} twelve pearls; each one of the gates severally was of one pearl: and the street of the city pure gold as transparent glass.
 22And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God the Almighty is the temple of it, and the Lamb.
 23And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine on it: for the glory of God illumined it, and the Lamb {i}is{/i} the lamp of it.
 24And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory unto it.
 25And the gates of it shall in no wise be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
 26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations unto it. (Rev. 21:10‑26)

• There we have clearly the complete glory of the Church, when there will be no question of cleansing it any more; when all the love of Christ will have its perfect effect. (“Remarks on Ephesians 5:25-33” by W. Kelly)
• The Holy Spirit has taken the things of Christ, and has revealed them to the assembly; and all that the Father has is Christ’s. Thus perfected according to the perfection of heaven, He presents it to Himself a glorious assembly. Morally the work was done; the elements of heavenly glory had been communicated to her who was to stand in that glory, had entered into her moral being, and thus formed her to participate in it. The power of the Lord is needed to make her participate in it in fact. (“Ephesians 4-5” by J.N. Darby)
• Everywhere Christ Jesus Himself is intermixed with every portion. He Himself is the beginning, He Himself the end, He Himself all the way through. He gave Himself as the beginning; and He presents it to Himself as the end. Meanwhile He tenderly cares for the church. (“Ephesians 5” by W. Kelly)
