THE CITY OF GOD, JERUSALEM

 

15 The Angel who Talked with me

HAD A MEASURING ROD OF GOLD

TO MEASURE THE CITY,

ITS GATES AND ITS WALLS.

16 The City was Laid Out like a Square,

As Long as it was Wide.

HE MEASURED THE CITY

WITH THE ROD

And found it to be

1,400 miles in length,

And as Wide and High as it is Long.

17 The angel Measured the Wall

Using human measurement,

And it was abut 200 feet thick.

18 the Wall was made of Jasper,

AND THE CITY OF PURE GOLD,

AS PURE AS GLASS.

19 THE FOUNDATIONS

OF THE CITY WALLS

WERE DECORATED

With with Every Kind

OF PRECIOUS STONE.

The First Foundation was Jasper,

The Second Sapphire, the Third Agate,

The Fourth Emerald,

20 The Fifth Onyx, the Sixth Ruby,

The Seventh Chrysolite,

The Eighth Beryl, the Ninth topaz,

The Tenth Turquoise, 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 GOLD,

AS PURE AS TRANSPARENT GLASS.

(Revelation 21:15-21, NIV)
