Ephesians 5:8-14
At one time you were in the dark. But now you are in the light because of what the Lord has done. Live like children of the light.The light produces what is completely good, right and true.Find out what pleases the Lord.Have nothing to do with the acts of darkness. They don’t produce anything good. Show what they are really like.It is shameful even to talk about what people who don’t obey do in secret.But everything the light shines on can be seen. And everything that the light shines on becomes a light.That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”

You think you know so much more than the people you teach. You think you’re helping blind people. You think you are a light for those in the dark.You think you can make foolish people wise. You act like you’re teaching little children. You think that the law gives you all knowledge and truth.

Revelation 21:14-27
The wall of the city had 12 foundations. Written on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb.The angel who talked with me had a gold measuring rod. He used it to measure the city, its gates and its walls.The city was laid out like a square. It was as long as it was wide. The angel measured the city with the rod. It was 1,400 miles long. It was as wide and high as it was long.The angel measured the wall as human beings measure things. It was 200 feet thick.The wall was made out of jasper. The city was made out of pure gold, as pure as glass.The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of jewel. The first foundation was made out of jasper. The second was made out of sapphire. The third was made out of agate. The fourth was made out of emerald.The fifth was made out of onyx. The sixth was made out of ruby. The seventh was made out of chrysolite. The eighth was made out of beryl. The ninth was made out of topaz. The tenth was made out of turquoise. The eleventh was made out of jacinth. The twelfth was made out of amethyst.The 12 gates were made from 12 pearls. Each gate was made out of a single pearl. The main street of the city was made out of gold. It was gold as pure as glass that people can see through clearly.I didn’t see a temple in the city. That’s because the Lamb and the Lord God who rules over all are its temple.The city does not need the sun or moon to shine on it. God’s glory is its light, and the Lamb is its lamp.The nations will walk by the light of the city. The kings of the world will bring their glory into it.Its gates will never be shut, because there will be no night there.The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.Only what is pure will enter the city. No one who causes people to believe lies will enter it. No one who does shameful things will enter it either. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life will enter the city.

Genesis 11:4-8
Then they said,“ Come on! Let’s build a city for ourselves. Let’s build a tower that reaches to the sky. We’ll make a name for ourselves. Then we won’t be scattered over the whole earth.”But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.He said,“ All these people are united and speak the same language. That is why they can do all this. Now they will be able to do anything they plan.Come on! Let us go down and mix up their language. Then they will not be able to understand one another.”So the Lord scattered them from there over the whole earth. And they stopped building the city.
