Precious Stones - Isaiah 54:11-13


Isaiah 54:11-13 NASB 
“O afflicted one, storm- tossed, and not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will lay in sapphires.
 “Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies,
And your gates of crystal,
And your entire wall of precious stones.
 “ All your sons will be taught of the Lord;
And the well- being of your sons will be great.

Isaiah speaks of the restoration of Jerusalem and the people within its walls. 

The New Jerusalem in Revelation is depicted in a similar way with streets of gold, walls made of precious jewels, and gates each of a single pearl. 

There will be no stone more precious than the living stones that are the children of God. They will be taught of The Lord for they are one with the Spirit. The word is written on their hearts.  Their well being will be great and everlasting.
