What is Night?
NIGHT
, one division of the twenty four hours composing a day. It includes the period of darkness, Gen 1:5, and was divided from the day by "lights in the firmament." Gen 1:14. Figuratively, it has been taken to designate death, John 9:4, and sin, 1 Thess 5:5. In the beautiful passage, "There shall be no night there," Rev 21:25; Rev 22:5, the meaning is that heaven is a place where no sorrow or sin or death finds entrance.
