Revelation 21:2
21:2 And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 21:10-22
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.
