~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 21 – The New Jerusalem
“Amethyst, a gem of great hardness and

brilliancy, of a violet color, and usually found

in India.

“In looking over these various classes, we find

the first four to be of a green or bluish cast, the

fifth and sixth, of a red or scarlet; the seventh,

yellow; the eighth, ninth, and tenth, of

different shades of the lighter green; the

eleventh and twelfth of a scarlet or splendid

red. There is classification, therefore, in this

arrangement; a mixture not dissimilar to the

arrangement in the rainbow, with the

exception that it is more complex.”

VERSE 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.
