Rubies, known for their rarity and value, signify the preciousness and strength that God will bestow upon His people. In ancient times, rubies were considered one of the most valuable gemstones, often associated with royalty and wealth. This imagery suggests a future restoration and glorification, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment in the New Jerusalem described in <a href="/revelation/21-18.htm">Revelation 21:18-21</a>, where the city is adorned with precious stones. The use of rubies also reflects the divine protection and splendor that God promises to His people.<p><b>your gates of sparkling jewels</b><br>Gates in biblical times were crucial for the defense and control of a city, often symbolizing strength and security. The transformation of gates into sparkling jewels indicates not only beauty but also the divine protection and access to God's presence. Sparkling jewels suggest a brilliance and radiance that reflect God's glory. This imagery can be connected to <a href="/revelation/21-21.htm">Revelation 21:21</a>, where the gates of the New Jerusalem are made of pearls, emphasizing the purity and majesty of God's eternal kingdom. The gates being made of jewels also imply that entry into this divine city is precious and valuable, reserved for those who are redeemed.<p><b>and all your walls of precious stones</b><br>Walls provide security and separation, and in this context, they symbolize the protection and sanctity of God's people. The use of precious stones for the walls indicates a transformation from vulnerability to divine strength and beauty. In ancient architecture, walls were often made of stone for durability, but the use of precious stones elevates this to a spiritual metaphor for the eternal security and glory of God's kingdom. This imagery is echoed in <a href="/revelation/21-19.htm">Revelation 21:19-20</a>, where the foundations of the city walls are adorned with every kind of precious stone, signifying the multifaceted beauty and strength of God's eternal dwelling place with His people. The precious stones also reflect the diverse and unified nature of the church, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone (<a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah's ministry spanned the reigns of several kings of Judah.
