12 Foundations of New Jerusalem
|
Have you ever wondered what the gemstones look like that make up the 12 foundations of the Heavenly City of New Jerusalem? I did, so I took the time to search out pictures of each stone. And here they are! His forever! Peggy
And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. (Revelation 21:19-20)
