Book excerpt: The twelve foundation stones of New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation are not the same as the twelve stones on Aaron's Breastplate. About half of these stones are different. Modern translations are going to give different translations for about half of these stones. For example, what was called sapphire in biblical times is not the blue sapphire that we know today, but refers to the blue lapis lazuli. So, there is much confusion about these stones, which this booklet will try to make clear. The New Jerusalem of the Book of Revelation has its roots in the Old Testament. Isaiah is the first to describe the New Jerusalem in terms of precious stones (Isaiah 54:11-12). Ezekiel also describes in detail of a New Jerusalem to be rebuilt on earth (Ezekiel 40-48).Fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q554) describe what New Jerusalem will look like with precious stones. This book covers all these topics and more in a fascinating journey into the gemstones of New Jerusalem.
