Revelation of John 21:10-22
10And ahe carried me away in the Spirit to ba great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 chaving the glory of God, dits radiance elike a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12It had a great, high wall, fwith twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14And the wall of the city had twelve gfoundations, and hon them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.15And the one who spoke with me ihad a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. ▼
▼About 1,380 miles; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters
Its length and width and height are equal. 17He also measured its wall, 144 cubits ▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
by lhuman measurement, which is also man angel’s measurement. 18The wall was built of njasper, while the city was pure gold, like oclear glass. 19 pThe foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and qthe street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 22And rI saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.
