This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Having the glory of God; a most excellent glory, received from God.
And her light, that is, (as some interpret it), that which gave her light, (as the sun is called the light of the earth), or her enlightener,
was like unto a stone most precious, was Christ himself, who is a stone most precious: Rev_21:23,
The Lamb is the light thereof.
Like a jasper stone: see Rev_4:3. God is there compared to a jasper stone; here, to a
jasper stone, clear as crystal. They say of the jasper stone, that it is very glorious to the eye, precious and pure; so it is very fit to resemble in part a pure and glorious God.
