Revelation21:25
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day , for there shall be no night there .
The reason of shutting a Cities Gates, is either to shut out Enemies, or to keep in such as are within: There will be no need of shutting these Gates on either of these accounts; there will be no Enemies to fear, and those that are within this City will have no need nor desire to go out.
We do not ordinarily shut ou[illegible: 1 letter] City Gates by day, but there shall be nothing but Day, no Night in a natural or metaphorical sense.
