{There shall in no wise enter into it} (ou m(8820)eiselth(8869)
eis aut(886e)). Double negative again with the second aorist active
subjunctive of eiserchomai with eis repeated. Like  Isa 52:1  Eze 44:9 . {Anything unclean} (p(836e) koinon). Common use of p(836e)
with negative like ouden, and the use of koinos for defiled
or profane as in  Mr 7:2  Ac 10:14 , not just what is common to
all ( Tit 1:4 ). {Or he that} (kai ho). "And he that." {Maketh
an abomination and a lie} (poi(936e) bdelugma kai pseudos). Like
Babylon ( 17:4  which see for delugma) and  21:8  for those in
the lake of fire and brimstone, and  22:15  for "every one loving
and doing a lie." These recurrent glimpses of pagan life on earth
and of hell in contrast to heaven in this picture raise the
question already mentioned whether John is just running parallel
pictures of heaven and hell after the judgment or whether, as
Charles says: "The unclean and the abominable and the liars are
still on earth, but, though the gates are open day and night,
they cannot enter." In apocalyptic writing literalism and
chronology cannot be insisted on as in ordinary books. The series
of panoramas continue to the end. {But only they which are
written} (ei m(8820)hoi gegrammenoi). "Except those written." For
"the book of life" see  3:5  13:8  20:15 . Cf.  Da 12:1 .
