John continues: "Also, night will be more, and they have no need of lamplight, nor do they have sunlight, because Jehovah God will shed light upon them." (Revelation 22:5) Ancient Jerusalem, like any other city on earth, relied on the sun for light by day and on moonlight and artificial light by night. But in heavenly New Jerusalem, such lighting will be unnecessary. The city will be illuminated by Jehovah himself. "Night" may also be used in a figurative sense, referring to adversity or separation from Jehovah. (Micah 3:6; John 9:4; Romans:13:11, 22) There could never be that kind of light in the glorious radiant presence of the almighty God.
