Revelation 21:10-27

10 So, he transported me away in [i.e., under the influence of] the Holy Spirit, to a very high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It had the splendor of God [shining from it], and was as brilliant as a very precious stone, as crystal-clear as jasper. 12 It had a very high wall [around it], with twelve angels [stationed] at its twelve gates. The names written on the gates were those of the twelve tribes of the Israelites. 13 There were three gates on the east side [of the wall]; three gates on the north side; three gates on the south side; and three gates on the west side. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb [were inscribed on them]. 15 And the angel who spoke to me [See verse 9] had a golden measuring stick with which to measure the city, its gates and its wall. 16 Now the city is laid out as a perfect square; its length is the same as its width. So, he measured the city with the stick [and found it to be] fifteen hundred miles each way; its length and width and height all being the same. 17 And he measured its wall [and found it to be] two hundred and sixteen feet [high], according to human measurements which the angel was using. 18 The material for the city’s wall was jasper, and the city [itself] was made of pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The foundation of the city’s wall was decorated with all kinds of precious stones [Note: Not all of the following stones listed can be accurately identified today]. The first foundation stone was jasper [i.e., a bluish-colored stone]; the second was sapphire; the third was chalcedony [i.e., a translucent quartz of pale blue or gray]; the fourth was emerald; 20 the fifth was sardonyx [i.e., an orange-colored stone similar to chalcedony]; the sixth was sardius [i.e., a reddish-colored stone also called carnelian]; the seventh was chrysolite [i.e., a yellowish- or greenish-colored stone]; the eighth was beryl [i.e., a stone of bluish-green color]; the ninth was topaz [i.e., a yellow or bluish-yellow stone]; the tenth was chrysoprase [i.e., a stone of greenish-gold color]; the eleventh was jacinth [i.e., a stone of purple or reddish-blue color]; the twelfth was amethyst [i.e., a purple- or violet-colored stone]. 21 And the twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, with each gate being made of a single pearl. And the street of the city was made of pure gold, as transparent as glass. 22 But I did not see a Temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the city’s Temple. 23 And the city does not need the sun or the moon to illuminate it, for the splendor of God provides the light for it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 And [the saved people of] the nations will walk in the city’s light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 And the gates of the city will never be closed during the daytime (for there will never be nighttime there). 26 And they [i.e., the kings of the earth, Verse 24] will bring the splendor and honor of [the saved people of] the nations into the city. [Note: This verse may involve a slightly different idea from verse 24]. 27 And there will never be anything [morally] unclean allowed to enter it, nor any person who practices disgusting behavior [i.e., probably such sins as sexual perversion], or [any person] who is a liar. But the only ones [allowed there] are those [whose names are] recorded in the Lamb’s book of life.
