Rev. 21:10‑26• 10And he carried me away in the Spirit, and set me on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,
 11having the glory of God. Her shining was like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;
 12having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
 13On the east three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
 14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 15And he that spoke with me had a golden reed as a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.

 17And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, a man's measure, that is, the angel's.
 18And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:
 19the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
 20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
 21And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.
 22And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
 23And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb.
 24And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.

• The Holy Spirit has taken the things of Christ, and has revealed them to the assembly; and all that the Father has is Christ’s. Thus perfected according to the perfection of heaven, He presents it to Himself a glorious assembly. Morally the work was done; the elements of heavenly glory had been communicated to her who was to stand in that glory, had entered into her moral being, and thus formed her to participate in it. The power of the Lord is needed to make her participate in it in fact. (“Ephesians 4-5” by J.N. Darby)
• Everywhere Christ Jesus Himself is intermixed with every portion. He Himself is the beginning, He Himself the end, He Himself all the way through. He gave Himself as the beginning; and He presents it to Himself as the end. Meanwhile He tenderly cares for the church. (“Ephesians 5” by W. Kelly)
