Revelations 21 reads Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and there was no long any sea. I saw the Holy City of the new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband....

The wall was made of Jasper and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations f the city walls were decorated with every kind f precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the sec0nd sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl...

If we believe in Jesus, that he is the Son of God, we will go to heaven. Heaven is a place with a city called new Jerusalem and the earth will be made new and new Jerusalem will be placed on the earth and we will live with God. It is a promise. When loved ones die who know Jesus we have the wonderful assurance that we will see them again, with God, and perhaps at the wall of new Jerusalem. What an amazing sight!

We made walls and streets of gold today to remind us how precious that day will be!


Nathan held his wall up high!


Justinian the Great made his out of pure carnelian.


Caleb's wall has a decorated pattern.


I'm pretty certain we won't see weaponry on the new Jerusalem wall but just in case Joel added a ballistic site.
