REV 21:19And 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; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Gates – 12 each made of 1 pearl (Layers of nacre, to form the roundish Pearl) Takes up to 10 years. Pure Gold - Gold is the most highly valued metal in the world, in all cultures. Its beauty and usefulness is unsurpassed by any other. It has been known and used since prehistoric times, and its value has never wavered. ** Gold is indestructible. Being completely non-reactive, it will not rust, corrode, or tarnish. It is 100% recyclable, and is regularly used in medical, industrial, and electrical applications. It is highly ductile (meaning it can be drawn into a very thin thread), and is so malleable that one ounce of Gold can be beaten into 300 square feet of Gold Leaf. It can be rolled out so thin that light will shine through it. Its primary color is yellow, but is also sometimes found in black, red, and purple. Heaven measures 12000 furlongs in length and breadth and height. A furlong is one eigth of a mile so heaven would by a cube 1500 miles on a face or 3,375,000,000 cubic miles or 17,820,000,000,000 cubic feet. If you consider that the average American home is about 1500 square feet and has 8 foot ceilings we can say that the average American home is 12,000 cubic feet. So heaven is about the size of 1,485,000,000. If we say that the average American family is five people, we could fit about 7,245,000,000 (7.245 billion) people into heaven.
