| |

and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of
heaven from God, |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 21:11
|
|
having the glory of God. Her brilliance was
like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 21:12
|
|
It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates,
and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the

rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall. |
|
|
|
|
Revelation 21:16
|
|
The city is laid out as a square, and its length
is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred
miles; its length and width and height are equal. |
|
|
|

And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards,
according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements. |

The material of the wall was jasper; and the
city was pure gold, like clear glass. |

The foundation stones of the city wall were
adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper;

one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold,
like transparent glass. |
|
|
|

Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. |
|
|
|
|
|

Lamb. |
|

|
|

|
The nations will walk by its light, and the
kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
In the daytime (for there will be no night there)
its gates will never be closed; |
|
|
|
|
|
Revelation 21:26
|
|
and they will bring the glory and the honor
of the nations into it; |
|
|
|
|
|
Revelation 21:27
|
|
and nothing unclean, and no one who practices
abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are
written in the Lamb's book of life. |
