Inspired by the divine vision given to the Apostle John, artists of fine jewelry have recreated beautiful custom jewelry collections designed with precious stones as described in ancient times of the New Jerusalem, Heaven. The twelve stones in Shields of Strength Revelation Bracelet are a constant reminder of the striking surroundings awaiting the redeemed soul. The foundations of the wall displayed the names of the twelve apostles (Rev. 21:14,19). The precious stones mentioned in the Bible are jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth and amethyst. Each of the twelve different precious stones adorns the surface of the foundations. These beautiful stones denote the variety and excellence of the doctrines of the gospel, the grace of the Holy Spirit, or the personal excellences of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is what will welcome the new arrivals to their heavenly eternal home.

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:1-5

God’s angels have divisions of responsibilities ranging from ministry, guarding, delivering messages, battling, and sounding trumpets to alert His own that His Son is near. Apostle John writes of this and far more in Revelation 21. The redeemed have a grand inheritance awaiting them. Nothing upon this earth or any other planet for that matter compares to the perfect heaven. The redeemed can draw near in their minds to heaven by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide them through the descriptive words in Revelation 21. Tour its contents, meditate upon them, and in faith imagine their spectacular glory. The profound words will shine like lustrous stones for it is heaven made of precious stones and metals. The redeemed are most happy and joyful when they conform to Christ’s perfection. Draw near to Him and His heavenly abode often. The redeemed cannot in the truest form of the word know exactly what the New Jerusalem will be like. In faith there is freedom to ponder its glory. In chapter 21 of Revelation redeemed souls learn that Heaven is safe, secure, and separates them from the enemies of Jesus. In complete fulness the redeemed souls will have new bodies, new powers, new abilities, will walk with all the angels and will dwell in Christ’s excellence. One day all things will be made new.
