Bible Study Oh the beautiful stones of new Jerusalem

I just love to look at polished rocks. They come in every color imaginable once they are cleaned and polished up. Just image when looking at a mountain of rocks what it would look like under all of the accumulation of crust and dirt over the centuries.

Magnificent!
So many colors. The Bible tells us that the city new Jerusalem will be paved with gold and have layers of polished stones for it’s foundations. Of course, we are being refined daily as silver, gold precious stones ourselves by the Word of God to hopefully be worthy to inherit the bride Heavenly Jerusalem. But I do believe that when the Bride comes down, she will be more glorious of a City than anything that man has built.

Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
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:
KJV
Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
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;

20 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.
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.

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
KJV
We must pray often for the Peace of Jerusalem… yet not as you think, but for it to come into our lives.
Many make the error of not rightly dividing the Word and believe that we are to pray for the Peace of earthly Jerusalem, but God says there shall be no peace for her and is quite angry with those who falsely promise them there will be, for they don’t believe that they must receive Christ and will be judged by the Law instead of forgiveness of sins to be birthed in a new Spirit for a renewed mind.
That is why it is so important for us to reach the Jewish people and cast them out of that covenant of destruction and into their covenant in Christ to be born again. For if the Jews did not have to receive Christ, he would not have come to them First, nor would there be any Jews in the body of Christ.
God has spared for Himself however 7,000 of OT Israel who will be saved by grace mentioned in:
1 Kings 19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
KJV
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
KJV
And they are still alive to this day, just as John the Baptist was also Elijah according to Jesus. And there was also mentioned by Jesus unto Peter, that John may remain alive until he returns.
Abraham rejoiced to see the day of Jesus’ death burial and resurrection because it released those who had fallen asleep before Jesus, who came out of their graves in the earthquake (rattle & shake)just as soon as the Spirit of life was available after Jesus rose. These fulfilled the dry bones of the whole house of Old covenant Israel of Ezek.31.
Matt 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
KJV
Blessings to those who see
