Exegesis
A second coordinated clause, kai ouk echousin chreian {καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν χρείαν | kaí ouk ékhousin khreían}, adds that the inhabitants “do not have need,” shifting from cosmic conditions to human experience.
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.
