Revelation 21:21
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.”

Pearl. Margarites. The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls. The pearl of great price is worth everything you have. The kingdom demands and deserves total surrender.
