Will there be nations in the new earth (Revelation 21:24)?
Whosoever WillAll Whosoever Will answers →
Whosoever Will, The Names on the Walls: “And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it” Nations, plural. Kings, plural. In the new earth, walking into the city. “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life... and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” Nations, again, plural, being healed, not dissolved. So the eternal state has Israel by name, the church by name, and the nations by name, all in one city, all walking in one light: “the Lamb is the light thereof” (21:23). What is gone is the curse (22:3), the sea (21:1), death and sorrow (21:4). What is kept is every people God ever named, and every promise He ever made to them. Jesus said the same thing from the other direction: men from east and west shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of God (Matt 8:11; Luke 13:28-29). With them. Not instead of them, not apart from them. That is the answer to the question. Distinction is not segregation. A wall with two sets of names on it is not a wall down the middle of the city. It is a city that remembers who it was built for. Scripture, King James Version: Matthew 8:11, "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."; Luke 13:28-29, "There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God."; Revelation 21:24, "And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it."; Revelation 22:2, "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.".
