Exodus 28:15
King James Version
15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment
with cunning work;
after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it;
of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet,
and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
SPIRIT led us to the "breastplate of judgment".
Which a priest, like Aaron, was supposed to wear.
On that breastplate are 12 stones.
Each representing a tribe of Israel.
Jasper represents the tribe of Benjamin.
The last stone on the breastplate.
Exodus 28:20
King James Version
20 And the fourth row a beryl,
and an onyx,
and a jasper:
they shall be set in gold
in their inclosings.
What does the Bible say about "jasper"?
Satan was once covered with jasper, and other precious stones.
Ezekiel 28:11-16
King James Version
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me,
saying,
12 Son of man,
take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,
and say unto him,
Thus saith the Lord God;
Thou sealest up the sum,
full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;
every precious stone was thy covering,
the sardius, topaz, and the diamond,
the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper,
the sapphire, the emerald,
and the carbuncle, and gold:
the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes
was prepared in thee
in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth;
and I have set thee so:
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God;
thou hast walked up and down
in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways
from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise
they have filled the midst of thee with violence,
and thou hast sinned:
therefore I will cast thee as profane
out of the mountain of God:
and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
GOD in heaven was "like a jasper and a sardine stone".
Revelation 4:2-3
King James Version
2 And immediately I was in the spirit:
and, behold, a throne was set in heaven,
and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon
like a jasper and a sardine stone:
and there was a rainbow round about the throne,
in sight like unto an emerald.
The NEW JERUSALEM is described here:
Revelation 21:9-11
King James Version
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials
full of the seven last plagues,
and talked with me, saying,
Come hither,
I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit
to a great and high mountain,
and shewed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God:
and her light was like unto a stone most precious,
even like a jasper stone,
clear as crystal;
Revelation 21:17-18
King James Version
17 And he measured the wall thereof,
an hundred and forty and four cubits,
according to the measure of a man,
that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper:
and the city was pure gold,
like unto clear glass.
Revelation 21:19
King James Version
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city
were garnished with all manner of precious stones.
The first foundation was jasper;
the second, sapphire;
the third, a chalcedony;
the fourth, an emerald;
Imagine a stone like jasper, on the breastplate of judgment.
Representative of the brightness of GOD.
Comprising the wall of the New Jerusalem.
Used as its first foundation.
And representing the tribe of Benjamin.
The youngest of all 12 tribes.
Moses blessed this tribe, before he died:
Deuteronomy 33:12
King James Version
12 And of Benjamin he said,
The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him;
and the Lord shall cover him all the day long,
and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
That is actually a powerful prophecy, which we will look into on another post.
