2a	Rev. 21: 19 (10-27) 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; D&C 76: 70. 70 These are they whose bodies are ^acelestial, whose ^bglory is that of the ^csun, even the glory of God, the ^dhighest of all, whose glory the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical. TG Beauty.
b	2 Ne. 9: 41. 41 O then, my beloved brethren, ^acome unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the ^bway for man is ^cnarrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the ^dgate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.
c	Ex. 24: 17. 17 And the ^asight of the ^bglory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. Isa. 33: 14 (14-15) 14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with ^aeverlasting ^bburnings? Hel. 5: 23. 23 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi were encircled about ^aas if by ^bfire, even insomuch that they durst not lay their hands upon them for fear lest they should be burned. Nevertheless, Nephi and Lehi were not burned; and they were as standing in the midst of fire and were not burned. D&C 130: 7. 7 But ^athey reside in the ^bpresence of God, on a globe ^clike a ^dsea of glass and ^efire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord. D&C 133: 41. 41 And it shall be answered upon their heads; for the presence of the Lord shall be ^aas the melting fire that burneth, and as the fire which causeth the waters to boil.
d	Ezek. 1: 4 (4-25) 4 ¶ And I looked, and, behold, a ^awhirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a ^bfire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
