Read Revelation 21 in context

Scripture Focus

19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Revelation 21:19

Biblical Context

Foundations of the wall are adorned with precious stones. The stones symbolize the solid, beauty-filled base of a holy inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision the city is not distant but the inward country of your life. Revelation 21:19 speaks of foundations garnished with stones, yet Neville would translate it as a map of consciousness. The city you live in is anchored by the inner foundations you accept in awareness. The stones—jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald—are the colors of states of mind you may inhabit. Jasper shines as clear, unwavering faith that sees through appearances. Sapphire bears the royal wisdom of knowing you are the I AM, untouched by outward change. Chalcedony speaks of steadiness and adaptability—many hues within one light. Emerald invites renewal and growth, a continual becoming in your heart. Each foundation laid by attention, belief, and feeling forms the wall that supports your life and sets the tone of your days. When you dwell in these states, the outer circumstances reflect the inner architecture; the city becomes your lived reality. The call here is to revise from within, not to conquer from without, until consciousness itself wears jeweled walls with ease.

Practice This Now

Assume you already inhabit a city whose foundations sparkle with jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, and emerald. Feel the I AM awareness supporting every brick.
