Revelation 21:11

“Having the glory of God, etc.] Not only upon their souls, which will lie in the glorious robe of Christ's righteousness, the bride's wedding garment being on them, in the perfect holiness which will be in them, and in that complete knowledge of all spiritual and heavenly things they will be possessed of, they will have a glory revealed in them; but upon their bodies also, for this city, the church, the bride of Christ, will consist only of risen and changed saints, whose bodies will be freed from all dishonour; deformity, diseases, and imperfections, and will be made like unto Christ's glorious body, and will shine like the sun in the kingdom of God.

“Having the glory of God--not merely the Shekinah-cloud, but God Himself as her glory dwelling in the midst of her.

Compare Note, see on Phi 2:15, the only other passage where it occurs. The "and" before "her light' is omitted in A, B, and Vulgate. even like--Greek, "as it were." jasper--representing watery crystalline brightness.”

“Having the glory of God - A glory or splendor such as became the dwelling place of God. The nature of that splendor is described in the following verses. And her light - In Revelation 21:23 it is said that “the glory of God did lighten it.” That is, it was made light by the visible symbol of the Deity - the “Shekinah.” See the Luke 2:9 note; Acts 9:3 note. The word here rendered “light” - φωστὴρ phōstēr - occurs nowhere else in the New Testament except in Philippians 2:15. It means, properly, a light, a lightgiver, and, in profane writers, means commonly a “window.” It is used here to denote the brightness or shining of the divine glory, as supplying the place of the sun, or of a window.…”

“Having the glory of God - For her light, Rev 21:23, Isa 40:1-2, Zac 2:5. Her window - There was only one, which ran all round the city. The light did not come in from without through this for the glory of God is within the city. But it shines out from within to a great distance, Rev 21:23-24. Revelation 21:12”

“21:11 Like the true people of God, the glory of the city reflects God’s glory (cp. Exod 34:29-35; 2 Cor 3:7-11). • Jasper (see also Rev 4:3; 21:11, 18) is opaque on earth; the heavenly jasper is clear as crystal, having a transparency that mirrors God’s purity and integrity.”

“the glory: Rev 21:22, Rev 21:23, Rev 22:5; Isa 4:5, Isa 60:1, Isa 60:2, Isa 60:19, Isa 60:20; Eze 48:35 her: Rev 21:19; Eze 1:26, Eze 28:13, Eze 28:14, Eze 28:16 clear: Rev 21:18, Rev 4:6, Rev 22:1; Job 28:17; Eze 1:22 Revelation 21:12”
