Exegesis
The opening clause nyx ouk estai eti {νὺξ οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι | nýx ouk éstai éti} ‘night will no longer be’ uses the future of existence to negate the very presence of night, rather than merely its effects.
In context — Revelation 22:5
And night will not be any longer, and they will not have need of the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will illumine them, and they will reign for the ages of the ages.
