Revelation 22:5 Context
3And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God, & of the Lambe shall bee in it, and his seruants shall serue him. 4And they shall see his face, and his Name shall be in their foreheads. 5And there shalbe no night there, and they need no candle, neither light of the Sunne, for the Lord God giueth them light, and they shall reigne for euer and euer. 6And hee said vnto mee, These sayings are faithfull and true. And the Lord God of the holy Prophets sent his Angel to shew vnto his seruants the things which must shortly be done. 7Beholde, I come quickly: Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecie of this booke.

Wesley's Notes for Revelation 22:5
22:5 And they shall reign for ever 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. The mysterious ways of Providence are cleared up, and all things issue in an eternal Sabbath, an everlasting state of perfect peace and happiness, reserved for all who endure to the end.
