23And the citie had no need of the Sunne, neither of the Moone to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lambe is the light thereof. 24And the nations of them which are saued, shall walke in the light of it: and the kings of the earth doe bring their glory and honour into it. 25And the gates of it shall not bee shut at all by day: for there shall bee no night there. 26And they shall bring the glorie and honour of the nations into it. 27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoeuer worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lambes booke of life.

People's Bible Notes for Revelation 21:25
Re 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut by day. The gates were never shut. This implies, first, that the city has no fear of any foes. These have all been conquered and subdued. The struggles have been ended forever and no enemies remain to invade its happy precincts. It implies, in the second place, that "the nations of the saved" (Re 21:24) can always enter. There is always admittance freely to those "who have the right to . . . enter in through the gate into the city" (Re 22:14).
