On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there." Revelation 21:25



On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there." Revelation 21:25

On these days we usually see everywhere board on which it is written: “Gates are closed” or “No Entry”.

In the newspapers we see that Educational Institutions, places of worship, places of entertainment, commercial institutions, what’s more, cities and even countries are under locked down!
Definitely, this is a good measure to prevent the spread of the disease. Few days back I saw a video titled “World’s desolate cities”. Beautiful cities are now desolate, doors are closed!
When will these cities open up? Even if it is opened, will it be required to close it up again? How safe is this world? Is there any hope? These questions must be coming through human minds these days.
But the Word of God, i.e. the Bible very clearly describes a safe city whose doors are never closed!
“On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there”. (Revelation 21:25). The reason for this is that, in New Jerusalem which God built as a craftsman there is no disease, or war or death. There, there is no night (darkness). What a blessed hope given by these words?

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." Revelation (21:3-5)

Who can enter into this city i.e. the heaven? How can I receive everlasting life?

Jesus said: "I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture." John 10:9

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life".
John 3:16

One can get entry into this everlasting life by believing in the Lord Jesus. He can enter in through the door which is never closed and rejoice through eternity in the presence of the Almighty God.
May God help you.
