Revelation 21:21
In Chapter 20 of Emily of New Moon, the Murrays celebrate Christmas
Aunt Ruth gave me a New Testament and said ‘Em’ly, I hope you will read a portion of that every day until you have read it through,’ and I said, ‘Why, Aunt Ruth, I’ve read the whole New Testament a dozen times (and so I have.) I LOVE Revelations.’ (And I DO. When I read the verse ‘and the twelve gates were twelve pearls,’ I just SAW them and the flash came.) ‘The Bible is not to be read as a story-book,’ Aunt Ruth said coldly.
Revelation 21:21
King James Bible
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.
