The holy city, which one of the seven angels shows the speaker

일곱 천사 중 하나가 말하는 이에게 보인 거룩한 성

Revelation 21:9–21: the speaker (“I”) hears one of the seven angels and is shown the holy city, Jerusalem. The text says, “One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, ‘Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.’ He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal. Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass. The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.” Neither edition gives the names of the twelve tribes or of the twelve apostles one by one. At 21:16 the Korean Revised Version reads 일만 이천 스다디온 (twelve thousand stadia), where WEB reads “twelve thousand twelve stadia”; at 21:17 it reads 그 성곽을 척량하매 (when he measured its wall), where WEB reads “Its wall is”.
