Isaiah 30:29
30:29 You will sing
as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.
You will be happy like one who plays a flute
as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel.
Psalms 68:15-16
68:15 The mountain of Bashan is a towering mountain;
the mountain of Bashan is a mountain with many peaks.
68:16 Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks,
at the mountain where God has decided to live?
Indeed the Lord will live there permanently!
Daniel 2:35
2:35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction
and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.
Daniel 2:45
2:45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future.
The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”
Zechariah 8:3
8:3 The Lord says, ‘I have returned to Zion and will live within Jerusalem.
Now Jerusalem will be called “truthful city,” “mountain of the
Lord who rules over all,” “holy mountain.”’
Revelation 20:4
20:4 Then I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Revelation 21:10-27
21:10 So
he took me away in the Spirit
to a huge, majestic mountain
and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
21:11 The city possesses
the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.
21:12 It has
a massive, high wall
with twelve gates,
with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel
are written on the gates.
21:13 There are
three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.
21:14 The
wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15 The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.
21:16 Now the city is laid out as a square, its length and width the same. He measured the city with the measuring rod at fourteen hundred miles (its length and width and height are equal).
21:17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.
21:18 The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
21:19 The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
21:20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls – each one of the gates is made from just one pearl! The main street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
21:22 Now I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God – the All-Powerful – and the Lamb are its temple.
21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.
21:24 The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur into it.
21:25 Its gates will never be closed during the day (and there will be no night there).
21:26 They will bring the grandeur and the wealth of the nations into it,
21:27 but nothing ritually unclean will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or practices falsehood, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
