It holds significant symbolic and theological importance within the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of divine revelation and the eschatological vision of the New Jerusalem.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/exodus/28-20.htm">Exodus 28:20</a>; 39:13</b> · In the Old Testament, jasper is listed as one of the stones set in the breastplate of the High Priest. The breastplate, also known as the "breastplate of judgment," contained twelve stones, each representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The inclusion of jasper in this sacred garment underscores its value and the divine order established by God for His chosen people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/revelation/4-3.htm">Revelation 4:3</a></b> · In the New Testament, jasper is described in the vision of the Apostle John. "And the One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne" . Here, jasper is used to describe the appearance of God on His throne, symbolizing His glory, majesty, and purity. The imagery conveys the transcendent and awe-inspiring nature of God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/revelation/21-11.htm">Revelation 21:11, 18</a>-19</b> · Jasper is prominently featured in the description of the New Jerusalem. "The city shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal" . The walls of the city are also described as being adorned with jasper, emphasizing the holiness and perfection of the eternal dwelling place of God with His people.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation:</b><br><br>In biblical symbolism, jasper is often associated with divine attributes such as holiness, purity, and the glory of God. Its clear, crystalline appearance in the vision of the New Jerusalem suggests transparency and the unblemished nature of God's kingdom. The use of jasper in the High Priest's breastplate and in the heavenly city highlights its role as a symbol of God's covenantal relationship with His people and the ultimate fulfillment of His promises.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>Jasper, in the ancient world, was a valued gemstone known for its variety of colors, including green, red, and brown. It was commonly used in jewelry and ornamentation. The jasper mentioned in the Bible is often thought to be a translucent or clear variety, aligning with the descriptions found in the book of Revelation.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, jasper serves as a reminder of God's eternal nature and His unchanging promises. Its presence in the visions of Revelation points to the hope of believers in the coming of God's kingdom, where His glory will be fully revealed and His people will dwell with Him in perfect harmony. The imagery of jasper invites believers to reflect on the beauty and majesty of God and to anticipate the fulfillment of His redemptive plan.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">Jaspar (1 Occurrence)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/exodus/39-13.htm">Exodus 39:13</a></span><br />and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a <span class="boldtext">jaspar</span>: they were inclosed in inclosings of gold in their settings.<br /><span class="source">(ASV)</span><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/j/jaspar.htm"><span class="l"><b>Jaspar</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b><b>Jaspar</b> (1 Occurrence).
