    Revelation 21: 9 - 12
    [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
