The Mystery of the Twelve Foundation Stones
Manage episode 437428257 series 3401934
The podcast episode explores how Revelation 21 describes the New Jerusalem, symbolizing God’s fulfilled promise, with 12 gates and foundations representing the unity of Old and New Testament believers. Precious stones in the city’s foundations reflect the apostles and believers’ roles in manifesting God’s glory, while teachings from Genesis emphasize humanity’s divine stewardship. The episode highlights the importance of praise, covenant symbols like the rainbow, and believers’ identity as living stones contributing to God’s redemptive plan.
Key Scripture(s): 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, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 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. 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. 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. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Revelation 21:19-27)
