Revelation 21 Series, Study #31 by Chris McCann, originally aired July 8, 2015

Good evening and welcome to EBible Fellowship’s Bible study in the Book of Revelation. Tonight is study #31 of Revelation chapter 21 and we are going to read Revelation 21:18-19:

And the building of the wall of it was *of* jasper: and the city *was* pure gold, like unto clear glass. 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;

I will stop reading there. Again, we reading God’s description of holy Jerusalem, the heavenly city made up of everyone He has ever saved out of the world. He told us in verse 18: “And the building of the wall of it was *of* jasper,” and we saw that the Greek word translated as “building” is literally “of people.” This is because it does not refer to a physical wall, but it refers to the spiritual kingdom of God. It speaks of God’s salvation because God does relate the word “wall” to salvation, so we are not surprised to see that this refers to a building of people. The “wall” or salvation of these people was “of jasper.” God ties that precious stone to the Lord Jesus Christ. We saw that a couple of times already, once in Revelation, chapter 4, where the one seated upon the throne was “like unto jasper.” That would be Eternal God and Christ is Eternal God.

Then it said that the city was “pure gold” and we discussed how God likens the precious sons of Zion, the elect He brought into His kingdom through salvation, to “gold.” Also, in the Day of Judgment, where we presently are, He is “trying” the elements of “gold, silver, precious stones” and the “wood, hay, stubble” to manifest whether they are born again and of His people. Once that process is complete, the believers come through the fire as pure gold.

Then it goes on to say in Revelation 21:18:

…, like unto clear glass.

The Greek word translated as “clear” is Strong’s #2513.

If someone is not familiar with Strong’s, it is a concordance that is keyed to the King James Bible and you can look up any word in the Bible and each word is given a number. As you look up that number, you then go to the back of the book. For instance, we are looking at the word “clear.” Strong’s has given this word the number “2513” and you go to the back of the book and look up that number and you may find that it could be translated as different English words – sometimes it is only translated as one or two different words, but a particular word may be translated 20 different ways. This is one of the ways that God has hidden truth. Oftentimes, it is an excellent way for us to see how God defines His own words as we compare Scripture with Scripture. For example, we have the word “clear,” but what does that mean? Yes, we may have an idea in our own mind what “clear” means, but we want God to define it, from the simplest word to the most complex word. We want the Bible to define its own words and not us.

When we look up this word “clear” we find that it can also be translated as “pure.” It says in Matthew 5:8:

Blessed *are* the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

We understand what this is telling us. When God saved a person, He gave them a new heart and a new spirit and He took out the heart of stone that was wicked and filthy. He gave His people a new heart with no sin of any kind and it now resides in the soul of the one God has saved. Of course, we cannot say we are without sin because we still have our old bodies, so we may sin but we do not sin from our new heart, but sin is still found in the flesh.

Another English word that this Greek word is translated into is the word “clean.” It says in John 15:3:

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Again, this points to salvation. Jesus is speaking here and He is speaking to His disciples, which typify the elect. It is through the Word that He has spoken that they became clean, if they are one of God’s elect: “For faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The hearing of the Bible (the spoken Word of Christ) is what cleansed a sinner in the day of salvation when God was still drawing His elect to Himself.

So, we can see pretty readily that the word “clear” carries the idea of being “clean” or “pure” from sin. It is actually the same word used to speak of the “bride of Christ” in Revelation 19:8:

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

The word “clean” is the same word we are looking at and there is no doubt what is in view here. The fine linen is the imputed righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ: “By the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” The bride of Christ is comprised of the entire company of elect.

Let us go back to Revelation 21 and look at the word “glass,” where is says in Revelation 21:18:

… and the city *was* pure gold, like unto clear glass.

We have seen the English word “glass” three times already in the Book of Revelation. In each case it was referring to a “sea of glass.” That word translated as “glass” is slightly different than our word. That word was Strong’s #5193, but our word in verse 18 is #5194. It is a related word, but it is not quite the same and this word is only found twice. It is found here in verse 18 and the other time it is found in Revelation 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.

In the context of the same description of the body of believers, we can know that God is indicating there is no impurity, so it is “transparent glass” or “pure glass.” It is reflecting the perfect holiness of everyone God has saved.

Let us go on to Revelation 21:19:

And the foundations of the wall of the city *were* garnished with all manner of precious stones…

Earlier we read in verse 14 of the foundations of the wall: “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” We looked up that word “foundation,” singular, and we found that there is only one foundation. You cannot have any other foundation than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. We saw that all 12 foundations point to Him, indicating the fullness of Christ, just as the 12 gates pointed to the gate or the door, Jesus Christ. There is no other way to enter into that city. We also saw how the gates and foundations relate to the Word of God, the Bible, because of the many Scriptures that God used to bring His elect into His kingdom. So God can speak of “the gate” as gates or “the foundation” as foundations, but it all points to Jesus.

Here in Revelation 21:19 it refers to “the foundations of the wall of the city.” And, again, to what does the “wall” refer? It represents salvation. And what is the foundation of salvation? It is the Lord Jesus Christ – he is the Rock that the wall, the foundation, the gate and the city are built upon.

It goes on to say, “And the foundations of the wall of the city *were* garnished with all manner of precious stones.” Earlier in this chapter we read the word “garnished,” but it was translated differently. The Strong’s number is #2885. It is translated as “garnished,” but it is also translated in the Bible as “adorned.” It said in Revelation 21:2:

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

We saw when we read Revelation 19:8 that the bride of Christ was “arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” God is using different words to tell us the same thing in a different way and this allows God to add additional information to what He said before. That is the nature of the Bible – God tells us something in one way and then He tells us in another way and another way. That is why we keep reading the Bible and we build on the spiritual meaning of this verse and that verse. We can see this is one of the reasons God spoke in parables. Instead of writing the same words or sentence 100 times on the blackboard, God has illustrated His Word with historical parables, Proverbs or the parables that the Lord Jesus spoke and it makes it very interesting, challenging and joyful to His people as they go about the task of digging into the Word of God for the “buried treasure” of truth.

Here in Revelation 21, the Lord has certainly given us a lot to look into with each word. It requires that we search the Bible. And here we see that the “foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.” We read back in Revelation 21:11:

Having the glory of God: and her light *was* like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

We looked up those words and we found that “precious stone” points to Jesus and “jasper” points to Jesus. We are not surprised then to find it says in Revelation 21:19:

…The first foundation *was* jasper…

Again, Christ is the foundation. Christ is pictured by the jasper stone. Again, and again, and again, the Bible keeps pointing us to the Lord Jesus. That is why Christ said, in Hebrews 10:7:

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

“In the volume of the book,” or in the Bible, and anywhere you turn it is written of Him. It says in John 5:39:

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

They are they which testify of Christ as we read the Bible.

Let us go back to Exodus, chapter 28, where we can see from the reference to precious stones, like the jasper, that it testifies of Christ. In speaking of the high priest’s garments, it says in Exodus 28:15-21:

And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; *of* gold, *of* blue, and *of* purple, and *of* scarlet, and *of* fine twined linen, shalt thou make it. Foursquare it shall be *being* doubled; a span *shall be* the length thereof, and a span *shall be* the breadth thereof. And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, *even* four rows of stones: *the first row shall be* a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: *this shall be* the first row. And the second row *shall be* an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings. And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, *like* the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.

In designing for the high priest (which typified Christ) to wear this breastplate of judgment with these stones, God was illustrating His salvation program for the children of Israel, the spiritual Israel of God. Christ’s breastplate points to His righteousness and the believers would be “engraved” upon His breastplate, as He would give them His righteousness. The number “12” is mentioned to indicate the fullness of those that were in Christ and they would be like this city we are reading about – they would be as pure gold and as pure as glass. There would be no iniquity or spot of sin in any way.

So the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished or adorned with Christ, just like the breastplate of judgment was worn by the high priest.

Again, it says in Revelation 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;

We will pick up here in this interesting passage when we get together in our next study. God’s Word is so full, we can get so much information about each word as God leads us and directs us from verse to verse. With time so short (and getting shorter), we still want to take our time to make sure that we are learning what God would have us to learn.



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.

I will stop reading there. We had gotten into verse 19 and we were discussing the 12 foundations which God said were “garnished” with precious stones. We looked at “jasper” and we saw how God relates that to Himself. Regarding “sapphires,” we went back to Exodus 28 where God described the breastplate of judgment that the high priest wore and it had 12 stones with the names of the children of Israel and the “jasper” and “sapphire” were mentioned.

As we go on, we see that the third precious stone is the “chalcedony” and it is used only in this verse. It is a compound word made up of two words that likely mean “copper appearance” or “copper like.” I do not know what else we can learn from this. I am sure there is more to learn, but I do not know what it is, so we will just move on. We do know that the 12 stones identify with the Lord Jesus Christ and, so too, would the chalcedony.

The fourth stone is the “emerald” and we saw the emerald in Exodus 28 on the breastplate of judgment, but let us go to Exodus 39 because God repeats the language we read in the prior chapter 28 concerning the breastplate of judgment. It says in Exodus 39:8-14:

And he made the breastplate *of* cunning work, like the work of the ephod; *of* gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span *was* the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, *being* doubled. And they set in it four rows of stones: *the first* row *was* a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this *was* the first row. And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: *they were* inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings. And the stones *were* according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, *like* the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

It is interesting how God speaks here of engraving precious stones and today we have an entire jewelry industry that engraves precious stones, and it comes right from the Bible.

But, here again, God is describing the “breastplate of cunning work” and He is listing the stones, just as He did in Exodus 28.

We also find the emerald mentioned in an interesting place where God speaks of Tyrus, a representation of mankind. It says of Tyrus, in Ezekiel 28:12-15:

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord JEHOVAH; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone *was* thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou *art* the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee *so*: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou *wast* perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

God is speaking of mankind and we know it is man because God says, “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth,” and this cannot apply to Satan. The “precious stones” that were his covering have application to man that was created in the image of God and was perfect until iniquity was found in him. We do not know how long it was before Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden tree, but man was perfect until that point. In his perfection and purity and holiness, every precious stone was his covering. Then God mentioned many of the stones that were on the breastplate of judgment, as well as the stones of the foundations of the wall of salvation found in Revelation 21.

Again, we recognize some of the precious stones: sardius, topaz, beryl, jasper, sapphire and emerald. At this point in the beginning of the creation, man was “perfect in beauty.” The creature man was created good and dwelt on the earth a short time before he sinned and it was as though he had this beautiful covering of righteousness. It was not the imputed righteousness of Christ at that point, but it was righteousness as when a man walks uprightly according to the Law of God and Adam did so at the beginning and, therefore, he had the precious stones for a covering.

But, in Revelation, chapter 21, God is describing the new creatures He has made “born again” as new beings in both their souls and bodies (at the end of this world) and then God creates a new heaven and new earth and all is new. If we could go back to Genesis 1 God said, “Let there be…” and He formed a glorious, beautiful and wonderful earth, heaven, sun, moon and stars and new creatures made to inhabit the earth, with man as the “crown jewel” covered with precious stones, but then iniquity was found in man when he sinned and he brought ruin upon mankind and a curse upon the creation. Now we have the chaos and the mess of this sin-cursed earth because of man’s sin, but God worked out a salvation program for the history of this world and now He has gathered all His people and formed them into a new holy city.

Revelation, chapter 21 is the unveiling of the glorious new heavens and new earth inhabited by new creatures with no sin. More than that, we have a guarantee from God that there will never be an occasion for sin to enter into it. The former things are forgotten, never to be remembered. There is eternal life and no more death. With that language, God is guaranteeing that there can be no more sin because sin brings death. So now man has his covering again. He is covered with the precious stones. The wall of salvation has foundations that are adorned with these precious stones – the purity, the holiness, the righteousness and sinless perfection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, it will always be “perfect in beauty” as the first creation could not be.

Let us go back to our verse in Revelation 21:20:

… The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite…

I am going to try to speed this up a little bit because the “sardonyx” is only used here, but it is a precious stone that points to the beauty and purity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The stone “sardius” is mentioned in Exodus 28, Exodus 39 and Ezekiel 28 and it, again, points to Christ and the righteousness He imputes to the body of believers.

I am going to comment on the “chrysolite” and “chrysoprasus” together because the prefix “chryso” is derived from the Greek word for “gold” and, again, that points to purity.

The “beryl” is found in some interesting places. Let us go to Song of Solomon, chapter 5, which is a beautiful account of Christ and His eternal bride, the body of believers. Speaking of Jesus, it says in Solomon 5:10-14:

My beloved *is* white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. His head *is as* the most fine gold, his locks *are* bushy, *and* black as a raven. His eyes *are* as *the eyes* of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, *and* fitly set. His cheeks *are* as a bed of spices, *as* sweet flowers: his lips *like* lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. His hands *are as* gold rings set with the beryl: his belly *is as* bright ivory overlaid *with* sapphires.

Here, God used two precious stones to describe Christ because these stones describe that which is “perfect in beauty.” These stones describe sinless perfection, so God applies it to the Beloved, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Also, as it describes the four living creatures, which represent the glory of God, it says in Ezekiel 1:16:

The appearance of the wheels and their work *was* like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work *was* as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

The appearance of these “four creatures” was like the color of the “beryl.” It is God’s perfect beauty of holiness. That is also why it was said in Revelation 4 that the Lord God was seated upon the throne and it was said to look upon as a jasper stone and a sardine stone – perfect holiness. The “precious stones” represent that perfection.

The “beryl” and the “topaz” are also found in Exodus 28, Exodus 39 and Ezekiel 28. As God discusses the 12 stones of the breastplate of judgment in Exodus and the 10 stones in Ezekiel 28, we, again, see “purity.”

The eleventh stone is a “jacinth,” which is used only twice in the Bible. It is used once here and it is also used in Revelation, chapter 9 in the description of the 200 million horsemen, which are a picture of everyone God has saved out of the entire history of the world. They are numbered here to be 200 million, which is likely an actual number, but we do not know for sure. In this account of the Day of Judgment, it says in Revelation 9:16-17:

And the number of the army of the horsemen *were* two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses *were* as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

The breastplates of the 200 million are said to have “fire and brimstone,” but also “jacinth,” a precious stone. That helps us to identify who God refers to, as He cannot be describing an army of false prophets, but He is describing the entire company of the elect, all the saints that were also described as being on horseback in Revelation, chapter 19. The “jacinth” is a precious stone that describes purity and, in this case, it would apply to the saints of God as they go forth in the day of battle in Judgment Day. Christ is judging the world with “ten thousands of his saints.” It says in the Song of Solomon that Christ is “the chiefest among ten thousand.” The number “10,000” points to the completeness of everyone He has saved. So here is Christ and His saints, as the Bible says, “Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?”

The last stone found is the “amethyst.” It is also found in Exodus 28 and Exodus 39, in regard to the breastplate of judgment worn by the high priest. The amethyst is also one of those precious stones.

We will continue in our study of Revelation 21 with verse 21 the next time we get together. God is going to speak of the 12 gates as 12 pearls: “every several gate was of one pearl.” When we think of this world and what it values, it is often the “jewels.” It is the gold, silver, pearls and precious stones, so God uses the language of the world in speaking of the things that have the most worth and value to describe the incredible blessings He has bestowed on His people and to represent the purity of His people. These precious stones, like diamonds and gold, are valuable because of their purity, so God uses this language to typify His people in the new creation.


Good evening and welcome to EBible Fellowship’s Bible study in the Book of Revelation. Tonight is study #33 of Revelation chapter 21 and we are going to read Revelation 21:21:


God is returning to tell us more about the gates. If you remember, back a few verses it said in Revelation 21:12:

And had a wall great and high, *and* had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are *the names* of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

The Lord told us where the gates were positioned in Revelation 21:13:

On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

After describing the wall and the city, now God is directing our attention back to the gates to give us further information. Again, it says in Revelation 21:21:

And the twelve gates *were* twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl:

Even people that do not really know the Bible often speak of Heaven’s “pearly gates” and that comes from this verse. Of course, it is just language God is using to represent something. He is speaking of the new heaven that is made up of all the elect and the gates have everything to do with pearls and that reminds us of one of Christ’s parables, in Matthew 13:45-46:

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

In this short parable of just two verses, we find the words “pearl” and “pearls,” just as we saw in Revelation 21, so we sense there is a connection between this parable and our verse. There is a connection and we will see it when we understand what God is saying in this parable. Again, it says in Matthew 13:45:

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man…

Many times in the Bible, God identifies the Lord Jesus Christ as a “man” and, in this case, the “merchant man” is Christ, Eternal God. God likens Himself to a “merchant” and the Gospel as “merchandise in Isaiah 55:1-3:

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for *that which is not bread? and your labour for *that which* satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye *that which is* good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

He is saying to come and buy, without money and without price because God gives freely and that is the nature of the Gospel - it is all by the grace of God: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” God is the “merchant man” who merchandises in the Gospel of salvation and “the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man.” Since it is referring to the kingdom of heaven, it does make sense that God is the merchant.

In this parable the merchant man is said to be “seeking goodly pearls.” We can understand that even today. We have merchants that deal in jewelry and they would seek good pearls or good precious stones, so God is using language they would have understood long ago and language we can still understand today. The merchant man is “seeking goodly pearls,” but we can already understand what “pearls” (plural) would point to, as we read that verse again, in Revelation 21:21:

And the twelve gates *were* twelve pearls…

Going back to earlier verses in this chapter, the city had 12 gates and the gates had 12 angels and there were names written on them of the 12 tribes of Israel. God is relating the gates to the names of the children of Israel, which would point to spiritual Israel, the elect. That helps us to see the merchant man seeking “goodly pearls” is describing the Lord Jesus Christ. It is God’s desire to seek a people for Himself. He developed a salvation program in which He could save certain ones predestinated to salvation before the world began; He took their sins upon Him and died for them before the foundation of the world. That is the Gospel. And they are the “pearls.” God has sought “goodly pearls,” the chosen people of God. God did not choose everyone, but He selected certain ones, referred to as “goodly pearls.” Of course, that does not mean that there was anything inherently good in the ones God chose to save. We know the Bible says, “There is none good, no not one.” They were chosen according to God’s good pleasure and, therefore, they are “goodly pearls” because God had determined to save them.

Let us go on in this verse in Matthew 13:46:

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Here, the merchant man, who is God, sought “goodly pearls” (plural), but when he found “one pearl (singular) of great price,” then he “went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” As we read this, it seems like he decided not to go after numerous pearls, but to find one outstanding pearl. Since we just saw that the “goodly pearls” represent the elect, then it seems like he did not purchase the “goodly pearls,” but just one good pearl. Does that mean that God did not purchase the elect? It might be confusing, but God is actually showing us something else in this verse that will also tie back into His purchase of all the elect, the “goodly pearls.”

Again, it says he “found one pearl of great price,” and this “pearl” must be the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the precious stone. He is the one being spoken of in Revelation 21:21 where there were 12

gates and “every several gate was of one pearl.” It is as if the gates were made from the “substance” of that one pearl. It would have been a great pearl and that is where the language leads us. They carved all 12 gates out of one pearl. The material was of one pearl and they made the 12 gates, possessing the names of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel. The 12 pearly gates were all “of one pearl,” and we can see why it is that in this short parable in Matthew 13, the merchant man sought “goodly pearls,” but when he found “one pearl of great price,” He went after that one because that pearl represents Christ and in Christ are the true believers, the quantity of pearls. The quantity of pearls came through the quality of the pearl, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Then it says at the end of Matthew 13:46 that when he found that one great pearl, he “went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” This is similar to what we read in Matthew, chapter 18, in the parable of an unforgiving man. He had been forgiven a great debt, but when a fellow servant owed him a small debt, he would not forgive the debt, but he grabbed him by the throat and demanded that he pay all he owed him. Then his lord heard about it and he said to him, in Matthew 18:33-34:

Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

Now he had to pay the entire debt and we can see this points to being under the wrath of God, with God’s Law demanding that payment be made. This points to completing the sin debt, which it is not possible for man to do on His own. In Matthew 13:36, it said, “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” This is telling us that Christ emptied Himself of His glory (as Eternal God) and humbled Himself, taking upon Him the form of a servant in order to pay the debt of the sins of His people. At the point of the foundation of the world, the Lamb was slain, the debt was paid and He “bought the pearl.” Christ’s death and resurrection were accomplished and all whose names were recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life would become saved down through time. In purchasing the one great pearl, the merchant man ends up with all the “goodly pearls” and that is what we are seeing in Revelation, chapter 21. The 12 pearly gates are of one pearl. The merchant man sold all he had to buy the one pearl, but remember what God says of each of the elect in 1Corinthians 6:20:

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Just as the “pearls” come from the “pearl,” so do the seeds (plural) come from the seed (singular). This is the point God makes in Galatians 3:16:

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.

Christ is the “seed,” just as He is the “pearl.” Then notice what the Lord tells us in Galatians 3:29:

And if ye *be* Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

This is telling us we are “in Christ.” He is the “seed” and if we are Christ’s and we have been bought with a price, then we are also the “seed.” It also applies to the language of the “pearl.” Christ is that one “pearl” of great price and we are the “pearls” of Him.

Going back to Revelation 21:21:


We have already seen God’s wonderful description of this glorious city. He is using the most beautiful materials and things this earth has produced, with references to gold and pearls, to describe the beauty, holiness and glory of the city He built. It is made up of everyone He has saved and there is no sin, no death, no tears and no pain. It is a tremendously beautiful city of God and now He is saying that even the street of the city was pure “gold.” He uses the word “street,” (and not “streets”) and we would be correct to think that this refers to the Lord Jesus Christ. The street would lead people to the gate and from the gate. People would enter into the gate and they are on this street that will take them to other places within the city and Christ is that “street,” just as the Bible says Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life.” Of course to say that Jesus is like “pure gold” is something we can understand due to His absolute holiness and perfection of His being. He is the spotless Lamb of God.

In order to look at how the words “street” or “streets” are used in the Bible, let us turn to Proverbs 1:20-21:

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words.”

Wisdom is Christ. He is the essence of wisdom. He is wisdom personified in Proverbs, chapter 8, where “Wisdom” speaks and it is as though Christ speaks. So wisdom utters her voice in the streets and that would be the narrow way that leads to the kingdom of heaven. We can also look at Isaiah 59:14:

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

Truth is the Lord Jesus Christ and it is “fallen in the street” where wisdom utters her voice, so it relates both to Jesus and to the Word of God.

Keep in mind the two witnesses in Revelation, chapter 11. When they were “killed,” they were lying dead in the streets for three and one half days because the street is the way of wisdom and the place where truth ought to be found. And, yet, truth is fallen. The witnesses represent Moses and Elijah (the Law and the Prophets) or the Bible and it is “fallen.” Wisdom is fallen in the streets.

Let us look at one more verse involving the word “streets,” in Luke, chapter 13. This is the parable in which the master of the house has risen up and shut to the door and many begin to stand without and knock at the door, saying, “Lord, Lord, open to us,” and the Lord responds that He knows not whence they are and it says in Luke 13:26:

Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

It is the way of concourse. It is the market place of the Gospel where the Word of God goes forth. In the new heaven and new earth of holy Jerusalem the street of the city is pure gold - there is no truth fallen there and the sucklings are not swooning because they have no water or

meat. There is only absolute truth declared. The Lord Jesus Christ (who loves to teach) will teach His people there and the teaching is perfect and it will certainly be as wonderful as anything we could imagine. We will be personally taught by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Again, it says in Revelation 21:21: “and the street of the city *was* pure gold, as it were transparent glass.”

This reminds us of what we read in Revelation 21:18 when God was speaking of the building of the wall: “And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.” By the way, just as we know that Christ is the gate and He likens His people to being positioned at the 12 gates, so, too, the Bible calls Him the “city” and the body of believers is also called the “city.” The city is “pure gold,” just like the street of the city was “pure gold.” Both verse 18 and verse 21 refer to “clear glass” and “transparent glass,” respectively. The Greek word translated as “transparent” literally means “appearing through.” It is of such purity and holiness that there is no blemish of any kind.



And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb *is* the light thereof.

I will stop reading there. We have seen as we are going, verse by verse, through this chapter that God has been speaking of a spiritual city that He built upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the foundation. Christ is the Saviour, the one that has put the city together and has tempered the mortar through His faith, placing one “living stone” upon another.

God has spoken of the gates, the walls and the city itself and now He is speaking of the temple, saying, “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” This is a little surprising to us even though God uses the figure of a temple elsewhere in the Bible and it is a similar picture of the body of believers. For example, Solomon’s temple was a historical parable of God building His spiritual house of the believers and then He indwells them. So why does God say that there is no temple in holy Jerusalem? On the one hand, He says there is no temple and, on the other hand, there is a temple, but it is the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb that are that temple.

First of all, let us take a look at something God says in regard to those He has saved, in 1Corinthians 3:16-17:

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and *that* the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which *temple* ye are.

It does not say “you are,” but it says “ye are” and the word “ye” is an Old English translation of a plural Greek word, meaning not just one individual but all those God has saved. They are the temple of God. The “temple” is the same as the “house of God,” as God tells us in Hebrews 3:4-6:

For every house is builded by some *man*; but he that built all things *is* God. And Moses verily *was* faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Everyone the Lord has saved (the entire company of the elect) have come together to form this spiritual building, so we are the “temple,” and, yet, in our verse the Apostle John sees “no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” This is what Jesus said in John, chapter 2 when He spoke of destroying “this temple.” It says in John 2:19-21:

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.

Christ was referring to Himself and they were looking outwardly at the earthly temple and that is what the natural-minded man tends to do when Christ speaks. Christ had a deeper spiritual meaning in view, but man looks at it in a physical, literal way and is wrong. That is what often happens to people when they come to the Bible - they look at a literal meaning and not a spiritual meaning.

So Jesus says He is the “temple” and the Bible also tells us that we are the “temple.” It says in Ephesians 2:20-22:

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner *stone*; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

However, the way Revelation 21, verse 22 sounds, it is as if God is the temple and the elect are the ones inhabiting that temple, but Ephesians 2 declares that it is the body of believers that is the temple and they are a habitation for God. On the one hand, God is saying He is the temple and we dwell in Him. On the other hand, He is saying we are the temple and He dwells in us. We can understand this because of what it says in John 17:21:

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, *art* in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

There is a unity that Christ speaks of concerning the Father and Him. It says in John, chapter 10, “I and my Father are one.” But with this statement, Jesus is also bringing all those He has saved into this arena of “oneness” with the Father and Him. We are “one” in Him and He is “one” in us because we are the body of Christ. Therefore, God can say, as it does in our verse: “And I saw no temple therein.”

This could actually be a reference to the earthly temple in the Old Testament or the New Testament churches and congregations typified by the “temple.” In other words, there is no more need for God to have the “type” of the temple which always pointed to the spiritual reality. There is no more need for the “type and figure,” so there is “no temple therein.” There is no earthly temple, but there is the spiritual reality that it typified. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the “temple” of it and we are His “temple” and we are in perfect unity in the new heaven and new earth.

It goes on to say in Revelation 21:23:

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb *is* the light thereof.

This is actually following along with verse 22, in that the city had no need of a temple and now God says there is no need of the sun or the moon. What does the “sun” typify in the Bible? The sun typifies God, as it says in Psalm 84:11:

For JEHOVAH God *is* a sun and shield: JEHOVAH will give grace and glory: no good *thing* will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

JEHOVAH God is a “sun.” In Psalm 19 God makes a similar connection when He speaks of the heaven above, in Psalm 19:4-5:

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which *is* as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, *and* rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

Who does the Bible say is the bridegroom? Christ is the bridegroom. John the Baptist identified Jesus as the bridegroom and all those that are saved are the bride of Christ. Here, the link is made between the “sun” and the bridegroom, just as Psalm 84, verse 11, makes the link between the “sun” and JEHOVAH God. It is why Jesus is called the “Light of the world.”

What does the moon typify? In Revelation, chapter 12, God gives a picture of the “woman” who will bring forth the man child (Jesus) and it says in Revelation 12:1:

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

The moon reflects the light of the “sun” and the “sun” is God. The Word of God identifies with the “sun” and the “moon” reflects that light of God, the Bible. That is really what the Bible is and the written Word of God is that which has come forth from God to deliver to us the Word from the mouth of God. It reflects the glory of God. The Law of God is under the feet of the woman because if God’s Law were above her, she would be condemned, but God has satisfied the Law’s demand through Christ’s sacrifice and the Law has nothing to say against the woman, the body of believers. It finds no fault in her and, therefore, the Law is under her feet as typified by the moon.

Then how can we understand why it says, “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it”? If the sun typifies God and the moon typifies the Law of God, the Bible, then we must be wrong regarding the spiritual understanding of the sun and moon. Obviously, this heavenly Jerusalem that is made up of everyone God has saved must have God there, so is not the “sun” there and if the Word of God is there, is not the “moon” there? Well, here we have an interesting thing going on in verse 22 and verse 23. The “temple” that is not in the new heavenly Jerusalem is the actual temple that is in the world. Likewise, there is no physical sun or moon to shine in the new heaven and new earth and in this heavenly city. There is no need for the physical celestial bodies that God placed in our skies. They served their purpose well as they declared the glory of God during earth’s existence. The heavens showed forth His handiwork and it is a “figure” of that great Light, Christ the Lord God Almighty. JEHOVAH God is that “sun and shield.”

When this world is passed away, the “types and figures” are passed away and that is the point God is making in these verses. There is no temple and the city had no need of the sun or moon to shine in it. God no longer has need to use “types and figures” and parables to paint pictures of spiritual truths. He does not need to use illustrations from this creation. He has done a great deal of that kind of thing in the Bible. For example, a tree can represent a man or Christ and the mountains can represent kingdoms and the sun represents God, and so on. The creation was used to point to deeper, spiritual truths, but in the new heaven the spiritual truths have come to pass. God is with His people and the earth and heavens are passed away and the Lord has created that new heaven and new earth and He will dwell with His people for evermore.

Christ gives one of the reasons that He spoke in parables: “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Now there are no more strangers or uncircumcised people in the kingdom of heaven; there are no more unsaved people. There are only the elect children of God that have been adopted into the royal family and God has formed a new creation. All is perfect, once again. All is good. The people of God have received their new resurrected bodies and they have a love for God and a perfect desire to obey Him and a perfect ability to carry out that desire and it will always be so. So God is speaking with His people, face to face and plainly. He is not speaking in parables or using allegories or riddles. He is speaking plainly and the light is God and the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the one that is lighting the new wondrous heaven and earth and this holy city Jerusalem.


Good evening and welcome to EBible Fellowship’s Bible study in the Book of Revelation. Tonight is study #35 of Revelation, chapter 21 and we are going to read Revelation 21:24:

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

God is speaking of the heavenly Jerusalem. In the previous verse He had stated in Revelation 21:23:

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb *is* the light thereof.

Then God goes on to say in our verse, “And the nations of them which are saved,” so He is not referring to everyone in the world or all the people of the nations, but everyone that has become saved. Then God characterizes who He is referring to when He says, “Of them which are saved.” This qualifies this to mean the nations of the saved and they are the ones that will walk in the light of it. They are the ones that enter into the city through the gate, which is Christ, and they will dwell in the Light of God eternally. They will have all the blessings God has spoken of poured out upon them for evermore.

We are going to take a closer look at the Greek word translated as “nations.” I think we will see something interesting and something we may not have understood all that well in the past. We have had some idea about it, but not a clear understanding, but I think we will see much more clearly what God is doing with the nations of the world today in the Day of Judgment.

First of all, this Greek word translated as “nations” is Strong’s #1484. It is the Greek word “ethnos.” You can hear that we get our English word “ethnic” from this word and when we speak of ethnic groups, it means that this group of people is from Italy and this group of people is

from Africa and this group of people is from South America, and so on. They are the various nations and they are the “ethnos.” This Greek word is translated in the New Testament as four different English words. It can be translated as “Gentiles” or “heathen” or “nations” or “people.” That means we could have a verse with this same Greek word and it can be translated as it is in our verse as “nations,” but in another place it could be translated as “Gentiles,” or “heathen” or “peoples.”

The word “ethnos” can refer to unsaved “Gentiles” or it can refer to saved “Gentiles,” so the word, by itself, does not reveal to us which is in view. God helps us in this verse by qualifying it to say, “the nations of them which are saved,” but in other places it cannot be the saved that are in view when this same word is used. For instance, it says in Matthew 6:32:

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)

This statement refers back to eating and drinking and clothing, which are things the world seeks after, so it is not being used in the sense of God’s elect. In Luke, chapter 12, the parallel verse, it is more specifically stating that it refers to the (unsaved) world. It says in Luke 12:30:

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after…

Notice how God makes a point of saying “the nations of the world,” but in verse 21 He is saying, “the nations of them which are saved.” These are the two groups that the “nations” can be broken down into in the Bible. They are either the nations of them that are saved or the nations of the world and it is only the context which determines which “nation” is in view. Look at Luke 21:24:

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Here we have “nations” and “Gentiles” in the same verse. In this verse, Jerusalem is being used as a picture of the church at the time of the end of the world and they were “trodden down of the nations.” That is because when Satan was loosed, it says in Revelation 20:8:

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom *is* as the sand of the sea.

When Satan was loosed, he deceived the “Gentiles” of the nations of the world, but he did not deceive the “nations of them which are saved” because that is not possible because it says of Satan and his false prophets in Matthew 24, verse 24: “if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect,” but it is not possible. So Satan was loosed and went out to deceive the nations and that can only be the nations of the world and they are the “Gentiles” that came against the camp of the saints, the battle we read about in Revelation, chapter 20; Satan overcame the corporate churches because God had given them up into his hand. In a chapter where we read of Satan as the beast coming up out of the sea, it says in Revelation 13:7-8:

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Here it is very clear that the beast is given power over the “nations” or all the unsaved of the world. There is a distinct difference between the nations of the world and the nations of them which are saved. Both are “Gentiles” and both are of the “nations” and both dwell together. That is a very important point that needs to be made. Remember when God established the churches and congregations and the “church age.” God then spoke of an enemy that sowed tares among the wheat. Throughout the New Testament church age, a period of 1,955 years, the Gospel was primarily concerned with the events that took place within the congregations of the world. That was the focus because that was the “place” that God chose to bring the Gospel. When people went forth on mission trips and shared the Gospel with the nations of the world, they would direct them to the churches: “Come with me this Sunday to church.” That was a very good thing for a child of God to do during the church age. It is where God wanted people to be because when they came to church, there would be preaching and the Word of God and it would be the atmosphere in which God was saving people. As God saved through the churches, the “firstfruits” would come in over the course of almost 2,000 years.

Yet, in those churches Satan was busy sowing “tares” among the “wheat.” God’s command was to let them both grow together until the “harvest” or until the judgment was come upon the churches and congregations. Judgment began at the house of God in 1988, so even then most of the wheat and tares were still together within the congregations. When God ended the church age, He put into the motion the process of separating the wheat from the tares when He opened the Scriptures to reveal that the church age was over and His command was issued, “Come out of her, my people.” Thereby, He set in motion the sifting process that would eventually separate the wheat from the tares, but that process was not finalized until the Great Tribulation was complete. On May 21, 2011, there was the final separation as the wheat had all come out and the tares remained and were bundled for the spiritual fire that began at that time.

We can learn from the process that God used from our vantage point and we can see the entire manner in which God went about separating the wheat from the tares. Amazingly, that matches very well with the current process God is using in the nations of the world. The Word of God had been centralized in the churches and God did His saving work there and that is why Satan concentrated on sowing tares there. Now we know that when Satan was loosed he gathered the “nations” or the “Gentiles” to come against the corporate church, but God also had a plan for the nations. Satan gathered them as “Gog and Magog” and they became his army to attack and overcome the churches and congregations of the world.

Before we look at God’s plan, let us first look at a couple of verses that show that there are “nations” or “Gentiles” of the world that belong to Satan and there are the “nations” or “Gentiles” of those that are saved that belong to the kingdom of God. It says in Acts 11:18:

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

God also granted repentance unto the “ethos” or “Gentiles.” This teaching about God saving the Gentiles is all over the Old Testament, but the Jews were ignorant of it. Yet, this is what God said in Galatians 3:8:

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

All the “Gentiles” or “nations” were blessed, but were all Gentiles in the world blessed through Abraham? No, it is referring to the “nations of them which are saved.” It is the elect. Then it says in Galatians 3:14:

That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The blessing is the “faith of Christ” and salvation is the blessing of all the “nations of them which are saved.” They are all the individual Gentiles that were predestinated to become saved. It is similar to what God says in 2Peter where He says He is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Some people read this and they say, “You see, God wants everyone to become saved. He wants all people to come to repentance.” They completely misunderstand because it is only “all” the elect that God wants to save and, of course, His will is always done because He is the Mighty God. He is not the weak-kneed, feeble God that the churches preach, a God who desperately needs help from the individuals of the world. God is not saying, “Oh, please, let me save you because I am not willing that any should perish.” When God was still saving people, did He come to people that way, making request of the sinner? Was salvation just an offer? No, God drew the sinner: “No man cometh to me, except my Father which hath sent me draw him.” That word “draw” is a violent verb. It was by force of His will that God would grab hold of one of His elect and begin the process of drawing that person to Him, whether they liked it or not. Eventually, of course, they will more than “like” it. They will love what God has done as God gives them a right mind to see what has taken place.

There is also a verse in Revelation, chapter 7. Actually, there are many verses where God speaks of saving the “Gentiles,” but the Lord speaks of a very significant time (the Great Tribulation period) and the great multitude He would save out of the Great Tribulation. It says in Revelation 7:9-10:

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

It was a great multitude out of all nations, as it said in our verses in Revelation21:24: “And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it.” And here are the vast majority of those spoken of in our verse, as God saved the greatest number of people in the little season of the Great Tribulation. Actually, it was not the entire Great Tribulation, but only the second part of the Great Tribulation, after the first 2,300 evening mornings had elapsed, and God began to pour out the Latter Rain in September 1994 and evangelized the earth the “second time.” It was the second outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It was, as the Bible says, a second Jubilee period during which the captives were set free and Christ would deliver His people. It would be the grand finale of God’s magnificent salvation program. The Gospel would go forth in an unprecedented way to every nation, because God had made complete preparation through the raising up of the electronic medium and a faithful ministry and man (Family Radio and Mr. Camping) that were sound in the Bible. God sent forth the pure Gospel that was more accurate than ever before in history because He also made preparation by opening the Scriptures to reveal many truths that had previously been hidden. With the electronic medium (radio, internet, short wave and television) opening up, the Gospel went out into all the world and the nations were blanketed with the message of Judgment Day, May 21, 2011. The message was, “Seek the Lord while he may be found,” and God used this message to emphasize the urgency of the Gospel message so people knew they had to go to God and not wait because that “day” was getting

closer and closer. The message was everywhere and the teaching was that the door would be shut and there would be no more salvation, so now was the time to go to God. And God saved the great multitude from all the nations.

At the same time, God ended the church age and revealed that information to His people. He revealed that His Holy Spirit was no longer operating in the corporate church. He revealed that within the churches there would be no Latter Rain – there was no salvation taking place. The arena of the Gospel that had been in the churches for almost two millenniums changed. The arena moved from the churches and congregations to the nations where the “Gentiles” were located. God sent forth His Word and saved the nations of them that are saved. They began to live together.

Now, consider this carefully. What was the problem within the churches? God’s Word is always pure and true, so there was no problem at all with the Bible, but the problem was that there were enemies within the churches and the tares grew among the wheat and you could not tell one from the other, so both were allowed to grow together until the harvest and then God set in motion His separation process. It accomplished His purpose, but now God had scattered the Gospel seed all through the nations in the entire world in a way that had never before been seen. The nations did not go to churches, but the message was on buses and billboards, websites and radio or people were handing them Gospel tracts. They began to listen as the Gospel seed was falling to various degrees upon the peoples of the earth. The nations heard and God used the message to save a great multitude, although it was only a remnant of the whole of mankind, just like what happened in the churches.

We have learned relatively recently that over the course of about 2,000 years, the saved out of the churches and congregations were relatively few. The majority was tares and they were not saved people. But now the entire world was a much larger arena where the Gospel was being sown. What would God do? If He followed the first pattern of the churches, He would not just sow the seed and say, “I saved the ones I wanted to save and I will leave the rest.” Instead, He made a point of separating them. Would God do the same with the Gentiles?
