The first foundation stone was jasper the second, sapphire the third, chalcedony the fourth, emerald Īnd I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The material of the wall was jasper and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements. The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles its length and width and height are equal. The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall.

And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west. It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. Thus I will spend My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it over with whitewash and I will say to you, ‘The wall is gone and its plasterers are gone, along with the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace,’ declares the Lord God. So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation is laid bare and when it falls, you will be consumed in its midst. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and hailstones to consume it in wrath. Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, ‘Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?’” read more. A flooding rain will come, and you, O hailstones, will fall and a violent wind will break out.

And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash so tell those who plaster it over with whitewash, that it will fall.

It is definitely because they have misled My people by saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace.
