IT WAS FILLED WITH THE GLORY OF GOD AND SPARKLED LIKE A PRECIOUS GEM, CRYSTAL CLEAR LIKE JASPER. ITS WALLS WERE BROAD AND HIGH, WITH TWELVE GATES GUARDED BY TWELVE ANGELS. AND THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL WERE WRITTEN ON THE GATES. THERE WERE THREE GATES ON EACH SIDE-EAST,NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST. THE WALL OF THE CITY HAD TWELVE FOUNDATION STONES, AND ON THEM WERE WRITTEN THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES OF THE LAMB. (11-14) THE WALLS WAS MADE OUT OF JASPER, AND THE CITY WAS PURE GOLD, AS CLEAR AS
GLASS. THE WALL OF THE CITY WAS BUILT ON FOUNDATION STONES INLAID WITH TWELVE GEMS: THE FIRST WAS JASPER, THE SECOND SAPPHIRE, THE THIRD AGATE, THE FOURTH EMERALD, THE FIFTH ONYX, THE SIXTH CARNELIAN, THE SEVENTH CHRYSOLITE, THE EIGHTH BERYL, THE NINTH TOPAZ, THE TENTH CHRYSOPRASE, THE ELEVENTH JACINTH, THE TWELFTH AMETHYST. THE GATES WERE MADE OF PEARLS-EACH GATE FROM A SINGLE PEARL! AND THE MAIN STREET WAS PURE GOLD, AS CLEAR AS GLASS. NO TEMPLE COULD BE SEEN IN THE CITY, FOR THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE
LAMB ARE ITS TEMPLE. AND THE CITY HAS NO NEED OF SUN OR MOON, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ILLUMINATES THE CITY, AND THE LAMB IS ITS LIGHT. REVELATION 21 18-23
