DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith
~The Response of History to the Revelation~
Chapter 21 – The New Jerusalem
revives, faith plumes her wings; and with
feelings of thanksgiving to God that he has
placed it within our power to gain an entrance
to the mansions of the redeemed, we resolve
anew, despite the world and all its obstacles,
that we will be among the sharers in the
proffered joy. Let us, then, look at the precious
foundation stones of that great city through
whose gates of pearl God’s people may hope
soon to enter.
The Glorious Foundation. — “The word
adorned” (garnished), says Stuart, “may raise
a doubt here whether the writer means to say
that into the various courses of the foundation
ornamental precious stones were only here
and there inserted; but taking the whole
description together, I do not apprehend this
to have been his meaning.
