I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out ANYMORE

Rev 3:

12 The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out anymore.

Why not? Can he not leave the temple?

Let's see the context, Revelation 3:

7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it.

The victorious believer is likened to a pillar in the temple of God. In this imagery, he will never fall or go astray again. In this sense, he shall not go out anymore. This is not meant to limit his mobility but to emphasize his stability which will not be shaken.

1 Peter 2:5 uses a similar image:

you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
