  • Rev 21:10-27 : 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its radiance was like a very precious jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates were twelve angels, and on the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The one who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city was laid out as a square; its length was as great as its width. He measured the city with the rod: twelve thousand stadia. Its length, width, and height were equal. 17 He measured its wall to be one hundred forty-four cubits, by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night there. 26 They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 27 Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
