The Pulpit Commentary on Revelation 22:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And there shall be no more curse; and there shall be no accursed thing any more. Nothing accursed exists in that city, because there is no sin there. The narrative here passes into the future tense (cf.

Revelation 20:7). But the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him; and the throne, etc. This is the consequence of there being no accursed thing (cf. Joshua 7:12, Joshua 7:13, "Neither will I be with you any more ...

There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel"). God dwells in the city because all is holy. The throne of God and of the Lamb is one—God and the Lamb are one. Again, his servants, the servants of God and the Lamb (cf.

John 10:30). They "serve him," as described in Revelation 19:1-7 and elsewhere.
