[Teachldsseminary] REQUEST: New Jerusalem

I think you are looking for the statements made by Parley P. Pratt:

"In the Revelation of John the Apostle, on the
Isle of Patmos we have a specimen, a masterpiece,
a climax of all that is great and grand in design,
and splendid and glorious in execution, in cities,
thrones, palaces, streets, pavements, outgrounds,
gates, walks, squares, fountains, rivulets, gardens,
fruits, groves, specimens of dress, poetry, song,
music, marriage, bridal dress, feasting, books,
literature, public worship, prophesying, prayer, and
praise, as existing in and around the palaces of
the New Jerusalem the capital of heaven, the seat
of government of the Eternal King."

"The very gates of the city are numbered and
named, together with the particular names of the
precious stones forming the foundations thereof;
the gold which composed the pavement of the
streets all are portrayed in the description."

Parley P. Pratt, Key to Theology Page 14 (1973 printing)
or online copy of the book (at BYU)
http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cgi-bin/docviewer.exe?CISOROOT=/NCMP1847-1877&CISOPTR=2916pages
4 and 5 (I think this is the 1855 printing)
