Recent discoveries in modern science and technology, in regards to the relationship of light to precious jewels, reveals an astounding phenomenon - about the particular jewels God uses in the walls of the New Jerusalem found in the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible. Written 2000 years ago!

First, reference:

Revelation 21:19-20

"The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst."

Second, check out this short vid about this amazing discovery of science:


Third, realize this. Though mankind has discovered a more pure source of light than ever before, we cannot begin to match the purity of light emanating from Almighty God Himself.

And Who will be amongst us - who believe - in this New Jerusalem, illuminating the precious jewels in the walls - not to mention the streets of gold and gates of pearl?

God Himself!

Revelation 21:23 NIV

"The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp."

And Who pays the price of admission for us? The Lamb Himself - Jesus Christ!

Just a side note:

Sapphires have been one of the most prized gemstones
in the world for centuries. Like many other gemstones,
sapphires are rocks with a rare combination of elements
that give them their beauty and durability.

Job 28:5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread:
And under it is turned up as it were fire.

6The stones of it are the place of sapphires:
And it hath dust of gold.

Sapphires take millions of years to form beneath the earth’s crust.

And the dust of gold is from a supernova.
