REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/ Chapter Forty Three - The Resplendent City - Continue

     Jerusalem is breathtaking in its beauty: "Its radiance was like a    most precious stone, as a  jasper stone shinning crystal-clear. It had a great and lofty wall and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels and names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. On the east were three gates,  on the north side three gates, and on the west three gates.  The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, an don them the twelve names of the twelve apostle of the Lamb." (Revelaton 2`:11b-14) How fitting that the first impression john records is glowing brightness! Radiant as a new bride, New Jerusalem makes a fitting consort for Jesus Christ. It positively glows, as is  proper for a creation of "the Father of the celestial lights." - JAMES 1:17.
