And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me

the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God.

Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the

gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. (Revelation 21:10-12)
