Exegesis
The purpose clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | hína} governs two coordinated clauses: estai hē exousia autōn epi to xylon tēs zōēs {ἔσται ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον τῆς ζωῆς | éstai hē exousía autôn epì tò xý-lon tês zōês} uses the future indicative to guarantee their authority over the eschatological life-tree, while kai tois pylōsin eiselthōsin eis tēn polin {καὶ τοῖς πυλῶσιν εἰσέλθωσιν εἰς τὴν πόλιν | kaì toîs pylô-sin eis-él-thō-sin eis tḕn pól-in} employs the aorist subjunctive to express the decisive entrance into the city. The preposition epi conveys privilege, and eis indicates movement into the sacred space.
In context — Revelation 22:14
Blessed are those who are washing their robes , so that their authority may be over the tree of life, and that they may enter into the city through the gates .
