But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the
Lamb are its temple.

In
the ancient world, it was unthinkable to have a great city without many
different temples. It’s like saying today, “I saw a great city but I saw no
bank in it” or “I saw a great city but I saw no shopping mall in it.” This city
is marked by the fact that there is no
temple in it. (DG)

For the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its
temple: Here,
the temple is not removed, but expanded. Everything and every place is holy and
the dwelling place of God. (DG)
