On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

But A reads, "shall give light." them--so B and ANDREAS. But A reads, "upon them." reign--with a glory probably transcending that of their reign in heaven with Christ over the millennial nations in the flesh described in Re 20:4, 6; that reign was but for a limited time, "a thousand years"; this final reign is "unto the ages of the ages."

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

And they shall reign forever and ever - What encouragement is this to the patience and faithfulness of the saints, that, whatever their sufferings are, they will work out for them "an eternal weight of glory!" Thus ends the doctrine of this Revelation, in the everlasting happiness of all the faithful.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
