Okay, I cannot muster the enthusiasm to type out the rest, Revelation 21.9-22.21 (which you may certainly read if you wish) finding it as surly and infected with the spirits of self-righteousness & condemnation as the rest, without much to add except 22.5: "And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever & ever." {Reign? Over whom? All those bad folks on the outside?
