When they recall celestial Jerusalem they think of a ladder of colours,
preciosity, growth, in the breast-plate of the ministers of Hebrew
worship, in St Jean and its apocalypse...
It is all that at the same
time, not much known, imagined a lot, often dreamed. Here is a proposal of interpretation which will enrich your knowledge
and your thirst for knowledge.
Basic parameters are legible and have a
first sense , you are free to go farer in all
subjects beyond expressed by this monument, expression of numerous knowledges which make of it a Jacob's scale of knowledge.
Let us see the offered orders in spirit,heart and physical levels "known"to this day
(Bovillus):
Egyptian documents dating ten of eighth century before Jesus Christ
already mention Jerusalem under the name of Auschamen and
"Ruschalimum", then by 1400 before Christ: Uruschalim. The king David
having won the city, it became its place of residence towards 1000 av
JC.
When the Phoenicians came to help Salomon (successor of David), they
decided to build the temple of this city on the top of Sion mountain.
Then Nabuchodonosor destroyed the city in 586 av JC, the Jews
re-colonized it from 538 BC arising a second temple in the same place.
It will however be necessary to wait for the period of the reign of
Hérode 37 - 4 before JC, to see this place like hallowed.
But this does not
stop there!
This eventful history accredits the hypothesis of the
sacred particular qualities of this place, because the Roman occupied this place to establish a shrine there hallowed to Jupiter in 70 and 135...

APOCALYPSE, 21 " New Jerusalem " St John
" Then one of seven angels who held the seven cups filled with the last
seven blights came, and past not spoke by saying: " Come I shall show
you the spouse, the wife of the lamb. "
And it transported me in mind
on a big and high mountain.
And it showed me the holy city Jerusalem, which went down from the Sky having the glory of God. Its brightness was similar in that
of a very precious stone, a stone of Jasper transparent as some
crystal.
It had a big and high wall.
It had twelve doors, and on doors twelve angels, twelve written names,
those of the twelve tribes of the threads of Israel:
- in the East
three doors
- in the North three doors,
- in the South three
doors,
- and in Occident three doors
Note the order of quotation: Is / North / south / west which gives the
movement of a branch of svatiska (Nfa)
The wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the
lamb. The one who spoke to me had a gold reed as measure, to measure
the city, its doors and its wall.
The city had the form of a square, and its
length was equal to its breadth. It measured the city with the reed,
and found twelve thousand stadiums; the length, the breadth and the
height were equal there.
It measured the wall, and found hundred and forty four cubits, man's
measure which was that of the angel. The wall was made of
jasper, and the city was of pure, similar gold (..).
The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with precious
stones :
- the first foundation was of jasper,
- the second of stylus
- the
third of chalcedony
- the fourth of emerald
- the fifth of sardonyx
-
the sixth of sardoine
- the seventh of chrysolite,
- the eighth of
beryl,
- the ninth of topaz,
- the tenth of chrysoprase,
- the eleventh of hyacinth,
- the twelfth of amethyst.
- The twelve doors were twelve pearls (beads shaped), every door was made of a single
pearl.
The MAIN STONE (basis stone) of the city was made of pure gold, as the transparent glass.
