| Revelation 21:10-21,
"And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and
shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven
from God, Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a
stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And
had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates
twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on
the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three
gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the
names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me
had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the
wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large
as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand
furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four
cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And
the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure
gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the
city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first
foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony;
the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And
the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one
pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were
transparent glass. " |
