Universal Salvation in The Book of Revelation

The most common proof texts for Universal Salvation I cite are not from Revelation, I focus on Sayings of Jesus and Teachings from The Epistles.  But Revelation is the final chapter of The Bible, so it must help reinforce that message if it is true.  And I believe it does.

If you search for the phrase "Kings of The Earth" in Revelation, you'll find that from Chapter 6 Verse 15 to Chapter 19 Verse 19, they are consistently the bad guys, committing whoredom with the whore of Babylon and marching into battle alongside The Beast and False Prophet.  But suddenly in Revelation 21:24, after the last time the Lake of Fire is mentioned, we read.

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

Now one could easily object that these are different kings, but Believers being fulfilled in our promise to Reign with Christ.  But I believe our Kingship exists within New Jerusalem (the "it" of this verse) while these are nations without it.  And in chapter 1 Jesus calls Himself the Prince of the Kings of The Earth, so this was foreshadowed.

It's also the implication of my Bride of Christ doctrine.  I feel I have shown that the Whore of Babylon is the same Woman as the Bride of Christ.

I've already talked about how to translate the Greek Phrase that becomes in the KJV "Forever and Ever", it should be "Age of Ages".  But I've also rhetorically argued for Universal Salvation being consistent with the KJV readings of these passages.

I also have a post on The Second Resurrection.

The last verse of Revelation 21, verse 27, also challenges our assumptions of what the New Heaven and New Earth is like.

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

It implies things that theoretically could defile New Jerusalem do still exist.  Revelation 22:15 again clarified that sinners do still exist outside New Jerusalem, the Lake of Fire can't be located there, chapter 14 clarified it comes from the Throne of God.

But I also like to emphasize that the Gates of New Jerusalem are always open according to 21:25, and that the leaves of the Tree of Life are for the Healing of the Nations.  So those too Unclean to enter the City when this condition starts may still become clean, that may also be the purpose of The River.

Revelation 21 also says that God will make ALL THINGS New.

So in conclusion, a plain simple reading of Revelation on it's own does infer a message of Universal Salvation.
