The New Jerusalem
9 Then one of Rev. 15:1the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you Rev. 19:7; 21:2the bride, the Lamb’s wife." 10 And he carried me away Rev. 1:10in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me Ezek. 48the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Is. 60:1; Ezek. 43:2; Rev. 15:8; 21:23; 22:5having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with Ezek. 48:31–34twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are thenames of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 Ezek. 48:31–34three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and Matt. 16:18; Luke 22:29, 30; Gal. 2:9; Eph. 2:20on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
