The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. He measure its wall and it was 144 cubits thick by man's measurement, which the angel was using.
The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass, The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.

The birthstone lists that are used today are believed to have their origins in the stones of the High Priest's Breastplate. The Book of Revelations, that contains the passage listing the Foundation Stones, was not held in high esteem at the onset of the modern era, but with passage of time its contents became more esteemed. With this, the listed stones became associated with the twelve Apostles, as the foundation of the Christian church, and then with the twelve months of the year which used to begin with March prior to the modern calendar. Therefore today's birthstone lists are more influenced by this list of Foundation Stones, than by the original list of the High Priest's Breastplate Stones.

into the language by Moses. It is a variety of chalcedony. It is a beautiful
stone with bands of color running through it.�
There are many legends that surround the agate because it was among the
first stones to be considered precious among man. According to legend the agate
had a quality about it which made the wearer more agreeable and persuasive and gave
him favor with God. It also gave him strength and helped him to rest.

from Old French from Latin amethystus from Greek amethustos a- not;
See a-1 *methustos intoxicated( from methuskein to
intoxicate) (from methuein to be drunk (from the belief that it was a
remedy for drunkenness)) (from methu wine) or achlamah, the word
amethystos means not drunken. It is purple in color. The historian Pliny said
the Greeks called it Methystos because it resembles the grape. The legends
pertaining to this stone were that those who wore it thought it quickened the
intelligence of the wearer, and protect him from disease and harm because the
last part of the Hebrew word Achlamah is chalam which means to be healthy and
strong or restore to health.
Notice the first stone in the missing row has to do
with the making of seals, so we can say it has to do with the seals, and the
second stone missing has to do with the Mercy of God and it's main attribute is
rest, or relaxation. Now, consider that the first has to do with the seals and
the second has to do with relaxation, and now the third stone missing from the
third row� has
to do with the grape which stands for the stimulation of revelation.
Therefore we can see that Satan is void of revelation,
rest and relaxation because he has rejected mercy, and therefore without
revelation and without rest he has nothing to do whatsoever with the 7th
seal.
