12 Stones: Foundations of the City Walls (Vernon Dove) A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The 12 foundations of the city walls are made of 12 stones that reflect pure light. All light we see is reflected, but isotropic materials don't affect polarised light, whereas anisotropic materials do. All the stones mentioned in Revelation 21 for the foundations are anisotropic which means when pure polarised light shines through them they are colourful. God looks on the heart with pure light, so the glory of God is reflected in us as living stones as the foundation to build the saints who are the temple of the living God. ### Summary The video explores the significance of the 12 specific jewels chosen by God for the foundations of the city walls in Revelation 21, emphasizing their unique properties and spiritual symbolism. ### Highlights - 💎 Revelation 21 lists 12 jewels for the city walls. - 🌟 These jewels are not the most valuable by human standards. - 🔍 The chosen stones display isotropic properties. - 💡 Optical mineralogy reveals the beauty of these stones under pure light. - ✨ God sees beyond outward appearances to the heart. - 📖 Knowledge of these stones has increased in modern times. - ⏳ Humanity has less excuse to reject God's word today. ### Key Insights - 💖 God's choice of jewels reflects deeper spiritual truths, highlighting the contrast between human and divine perception. - 🔬 Isotropic vs. Anisotropic: The chosen stones react uniquely to light, symbolizing how divine truth can reveal true beauty. - 🌈 The beauty of the 12 jewels is revealed under pure light, representing the illumination of God's presence and truth. - 👁️ Our human tendency to value outward appearances contrasts sharply with God's focus on inner qualities and hearts. - 📅 The advancement of optical technologies allows for a deeper understanding of God's choices, linking science and faith. - 🚪 The increasing knowledge of these jewels serves as a reminder that God's wisdom is timeless and unchanging. - 🕊️ Ultimately, the message encourages viewers to seek a deeper understanding of faith beyond mere appearances.
