Heaven is a gigantic city bigger than the whole world. The walls that surround heaven are enormous and beautiful. These walls are like no other. They are not just cement or plain stones, but emeralds and gold as pure as glass. The walls are decorated with the most stunning stones known to mankind. Heaven also has a high wall with twelve gates made of snowy pearl. By each gate is a glowing angel. The twelve gates are the symbol of the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles.
The city itself is gorgeous compared to the exterior. It is not only great and high, but also shining with the glory of God
