And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain,
and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of

like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear
as crystal;
Revelation 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine
in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is
the light thereof.

1997- Notes on Revelation
<
And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to
make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's
heart.
Who [is] as the wise [man]? and who knoweth the
interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to
shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall
not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going
forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the
LORD is risen upon thee.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the
stars
for ever and ever.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God,
without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in
thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be
heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great
men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which
[were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the
firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to
give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth,
<
Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him
in the firmament of his power.
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the
living creature [was] as the colour of the terrible crystal,
stretched forth over their heads above.
And under the firmament [were] their wings straight, the one
toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side,
and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies...
And there was a voice from the firmament that [was] over
their heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.
And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was]
the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone:
and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the
appearance of a man above upon it.
Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above
the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a
sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the
stars
for ever and ever.
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon
Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it
was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that
passed between those pieces.
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren,
and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the
sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they
of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their
armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab [shall be] captain of
the children of Judah.
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou
seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host
of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them,
which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the
whole heaven.
And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and
for the precious things put forth by the moon,
Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD
delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he
said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon;
and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Joshua 10:27
So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but [let] them that
love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And
the land had rest forty years.
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against
thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before
thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie
with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
For thou didst [it] secretly: but I will do this thing
before all Israel, and before the sun.
For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give
grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that
walk uprightly.
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun
before me.
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going
down.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye
stars of
light.
Who [is] she [that] looketh forth as the morning, fair as
the moon, clear as the sun, [and] terrible as [an army] with
banners?
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall
not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going
forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when
the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem,
and before his ancients gloriously.
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the
sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of
seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his
people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor
sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,
even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for
brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD
shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon
withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light,
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the
stars shall
withdraw their shining.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the
sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall
be shaken:
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven,
above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them
which journeyed with me.
[There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the
moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth
from [another] star in glory.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his
mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as
the sun shineth in his strength.
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun
was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part
of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the
day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out
of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the
air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed
with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and his face
[was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed
with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a
crown of twelve stars:
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and
power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not
nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall
rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and
destroy all the children of Sheth.
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we
have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of
your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I
will carry you away beyond Babylon.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do
well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
And I will give him the morning star.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star
from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the
third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third
part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the
waters, because they were made bitter.
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from
heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit.
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,
[and] the bright and morning star.
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought
against Sisera.
Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the
stars
are not pure in his sight.
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy?
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by
[their] names.
And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it
cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and
stamped upon them.
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness
for ever.
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right
hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the
angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which
thou sawest are the seven churches.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their
appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the
appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living
creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went
forth lightning.
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance
of a flash of lightning.
His body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the
appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of
fire, and his
arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice
of his words like the voice of a multitude.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth
even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow:
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from
heaven.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part]
under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so
shall also the Son of man be in his day.
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that
there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the
mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all
the people that [was] in the camp trembled.
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings,
and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when
the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.
The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one
against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches,
they shall run like the lightnings.
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings
and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before
the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the
daughters.
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily,
and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
His cheeks [are] as a bed of spices, [as] sweet flowers: his
lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of
spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine: he feedeth
among the lilies.
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
