Revelation 21
21 And I saw new heaven and new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth went away, and the sea did not exist any longer.
2 And I John saw the holy city Jerusalem, new, coming down from heaven, made ready of God, as a wife adorned to her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
4 “Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity,
and He will take up residence with them,
and they will be His people
and God himself will be with them.
And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
and death will not exist any longer,
and mourning or wailing or pain will not exist any longer.
The former things have passed away.”
5 And the one seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new!” And He said, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who is thirsty I will give water from the spring of the water of life freely.
7 The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
9 And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 that has the glory of God. Its radiance is like a precious stone, something like a jasper stone, shining like crystal.
18 And the material of its wall is jasper, and the city is pure gold, similar in appearance to pure glass.
21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each one of the gates was from a single pearl. And the street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 And I did not see a temple in it, for the Lord God All-Powerful is its temple, and the Lamb.
23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon, that they shine on it, for the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Maybe there is a connection with the Lamb, the dove, the pearl, etc. and New Jerusalem?
Interesting also that the wall of the city is something like jasper stone and the street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass?
At the center of the city appears to be the Lamb?
The twelve gates of New Jerusalem are made from only one pearl? But how?
In the image of New Jerusalem the white flower, leaf and cloud pattern seem interesting to me. Also the location of New Jerusalem itself.
What do you think?
