Studying the Stones of the Bible

The Bible describes the New Jerusalem in great detail with many references to stones.

. 

Rev 21:18  And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 

Rev 21:19  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; 

Rev 21:20  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. 

Rev 21:21  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 

So,the bible lists these stones in order as well

1. jasper
2. sapphire
3. chalcedony
4. emerald
5. sardonyx
6. sardius
7. chrysolite
8. beryl
9. topaz
10. chrysoprasus 
11. jacinth
12. amethyst.

In the next following days I will post some information about each stone.

Welcome My Friends

Perhaps you have stumbled upon this page because you are curious, or perhaps you have changed in your spiritual walk with God. Today is another day to see the sunrise, to look into the mirror, to enjoy what this physical life has to offer and to express love for others.

It is my hope that you cultivate the spirit of love, so that you may forgive those who have hurt you, however many, however long ago, so that you can open yourself up for more love, and receive love from others. As Believers and Disciples of our savior Jesus Christ, we have oh-so-much to learn in all His ways.

When we love the Lord, we are best able to listen to Him and obey Him, and when we love others we can bring them closer to Him through our example.

I invite you to join me as I read and study the bible.
