JERUSALEM, the CRYSTAL CITY. part 2

And BEFORE THE THRONE THERE WAS A SEA OF GLASS LIKE UNTO CRYSTAL :  and IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE, and ROUND ABOUT THE THRONE, WERE FOUR BEASTS FULL OF EYES BEFORE and BEHIND.
And the FIRST BEAST was like a LION, the SECOND BEAST like a CALF, and the THIRD BEAST had a face like a MAN, and the FOURTH BEAST was like a flying EAGLE.

And the FOUR BEASTS had EACH of them SIX WINGS about HIM; and they WERE FULL OF EYES WITHIN : and they REST NOT DAY and NIGHT, saying : "HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY,  which WAS, and IS, and IS TO COME.

And when those BEASTS give GLORY and HONOUR and THANKS to HIM that sat on the THRONE, and WORSHIP HIM that LIVE for EVER and EVER,  the TWENTY FOUR ELDERS fall down before HIM that sat on the THRONE, and WORSHIP HIM that LIVE for EVER and EVER, and CAST their CROWNS before the THRONE,  saying :

"YOU ARE WORTHY, O LORD, to receive GLORY and HONOUR and POWER : for YOU have CREATED ALL THINGS , and FOR YOUR PLEASURE THEY ARE and WERE CREATED.
                                                                                                                                                    /////////

The comparative worth of ROCK CRYSTAL in JOB's day (through the prophet Ezekiel, God pointed to JOB as an example of righteousness) suggested by his appraisal of it along with CORAL and PEARLS, and yet he considered them all to be of less value than WISDOM.
The Book of Revelation uses CLEAR, BRILLIANT and PURE CRYSTAL to describe "A GLASSY SEA LIKE CRYSTAL," the radiance of the holy city, NEW JERUSALEM, as " A JASPER STONE SHINING CRYSTAL - CLEAR" and "A RIVER OF WATER OF LIFE, CLEAR AS CRYSTAL."
