The New Jerusalem chapter 21:9-22

One of the seven angels who had one of the seven bowels full of the
seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the
bride, the wife of the Lamb." And he carried me in the Spirit to a
mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God.  

It shone with the glory of God, and it' brilliance was like that of a very 
precious jewel, like a  jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall 
with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates.  On the gates
were written the twelve tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the
east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The
wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were names of the 
 twelve apostles of the Lamb. 

The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure
the city, it's gates and it's walls.  The city was laid out like a square, as
long as it was wide.  He measure the city with a rod, and found to be
stadia in length (about 1,400 miles, about 2,200 kilometers)

He measured its wall about it was 144 cubits thick,  by a man's measure
ment, which the angel was using. (That is, about 200 feet about 65
meters)   The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure
as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every
kind of precious stone.

The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third 
chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth
carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth
topaz, the tenth chrysoprase,  the eleventh jacinth, and the
twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each
gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of
pure gold, like transparent glass.

I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and
the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon  
to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb, is its
lamp.  The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will
bring their splendor into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for
there will be no night there.  The glory and honor of the nations will
be brought into it.  Nothing impure will ever enter into it, who does
what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are
written in the Lamb's book of Life.

Love in Christ,
