Here are the links to the new posts of the New Jerusalem and Birds II in the order of the foundations. I accidentally posted some of them out of order.

“10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
¹⁸ And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
¹⁹ And 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;
