spoiler 
(so you can decide to read this chapter we will finish later ) :
because of Gen.6-9 ,
we needed to know whether the “12 & 144 theme” there indeed was valid – or not :
this chapter was NOT about some alleged ‘new jerusalem’ even though these numbers
do appear here   —
more important : we need ‘a major juxta’ , 
in which the ’12 & 144′ in a first half about Adam must show ,
followed by a ’12 & 144′ in a clear second half about ‘us’ (144,000) : and it DOES !
moreover , the theme closes here with ‘the eden moon’ just as Gen.9 ;
 
       the ‘how we (144,000) relate to the 12-fold eden-light’ also is a theme here
       but see a – hopefully soon – upcoming page ;
       the only problem we still have is the “did Adam have 144 or 144,000 ?”
       and see the working out of that problem halfway this page
 
see also :
Mt.14 [+16]  , NO ‘2 breads & 5 fishes & 5000 people’ >> but the same theme !
suspected :
2 Peter 3 originally also had the same theme — but was devilishly corrupted

 
                                                                                        Rev.21
 
       the alleged ‘new jerusalem’
       the numbers ’12, 12,000 and 144′ do show ; however the buildup is so
       deviously corrupted that it’s impossible to see to WHOM belong the ‘12,000’ ;
       a)
       after 1-9 follows Esau’s ‘restart’ and because 2 has 
       “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
       heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” ,
       then breaking off ,
       the real start may have been the [corrupt]  “woman clothed with the sun and
       standing on a moon wearing a crown of 12 stars” in another chapter which
       must have been ‘I John saw Eden with her 12 seasons’ , then no ‘dragon
       came to devour her’ but “then the dragon=Adam stole those” , so that this
       Rev.21 only begins with line 10 (!) ,
       10
       “And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed 
       me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,”
       as
       ‘and Adam carried the seasons to earth for his jerusalem=people’ ? ;
       11
       “Having the glory of God: and her light [was]  like unto a stone most precious, 
       even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;” ,
       [=so that earth would have the seasonal light of Eden’ ? ,
       the “gemstones” show in part II that are álso about ‘light’] 
       12
       “And had a wall great and high, [and]  had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve 
       angels, and names written thereon, which are [the names]  of the twelve tribes 
       of the children of Israel:”
       [=something is awarded ! ,
       as ‘Adam put these 12 seasons upon ’12 + chiefs of + his + people’ ?] 
  
       but now we get in trouble for no key-words appear ;
       while in (16) appears ‘12,000’ and in (17) ‘144 + cubits [=144,000 ?]  ;
       now please – these all can still belong to Adam since áfter this line 17 now
       anóther series of ‘numbers’ begin — as “the alleged 12 gates are 12 pearls” 
       in line 21 which is virtually a repetition of ‘the gates’ in line 12 !
       why , IF true , not mention all the ‘gate aspects’ in 1 section ? the fact that
       after other themes Esau agáin starts with ‘gates’ means it was a juxta ! us !  
  
       [before the second half : the 12,000 & 144 (144,000) problem :] 
       … why is mentioned a “12,000” here as “the factor 1000” ? ,
       16
       “And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: 
       and he measured the city with the reed, twelvethousand furlongs. 
       The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.”
       did he measure=add + a city=thousand .. ?
       a factor 1000 tó ’12’ ?
       1000 usually is ‘a long time’ (‘1000 years’) but “NOT God’s time” ?
       [2 Peter 3 , utterly corrupt , must be the theme of this chapter also]  ;
       what if ‘1000 years as matrix-time-factor were added to ’12’ akin
       to the “70 years of mystery-Babylon” as 10 to the sacred 7 ?
       ..
       and he measured=added – the city=Time (?) – (to) the (stolen) reed=seasons (?)
       b
       on=as – the stadia=number (?) (stadion=arithmos) – 12,000
                c
                (‘NOT equivalent with a number (?) of eden’ ?) 
       in the Gen.7-8 chapter Adam devises a trick against us (and God)
       and perhaps ’12 x 12 = 144′ is a not good enough one : if in Gen.9 he
       talks about the moon theme then why nót add ‘the 1000 factor’ here ?
       if true the above reads as creating an illegal concept (‘12,000’) ,
       17
       “And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and]  forty [and]  four cubits, 
       [according to]  the measure of a man, that is,of the angel.”
       as
       [=then]  – he measured=MULIPLIES (?) – the wall=number of – it (‘12,000’ !)
       [now with a factor 12] 
       b
       (into) hundred – forty – four – cubits=thousand (péCHuS=CHiliaS !)
       c
       (but as the) measure=number of – human=Adam (?)
       d
       which – is – [+NOT]  of – angel=God (aggelos=theos) ;                                                   [sic .. is that sad ?] 
       man ..
       the “multiplies it”, the “it” suggests that ‘12,000’ is Negative ..
       is this negative for us (144,000) ? or is it , because we undo
       what Adam did , positive ? but if God is só specific about this ,
       lengthily explaining ‘what is wrong with the number’ …
       this section seems to start with 15                                                                                     [15-17 final version :] 
       as
       “And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, 
       and the gates thereof, and the wall there of.”
       [.. unknown ..] 
       and he (Adam) had – the (dimensional type-) golden=time (chrusous=chronos)    +
       b
       of (mystery-) reed=Babylon (kalamon=babylôn ! , as shown)                                       [=reed & golden] 
                  c
                  (by which he would imprison us on earth after the flood ?)
       16
       and because – he (had) lieth=stolen (?) (Keimai=Kleptó)
       b
       the four + square = twelve + seasons (?) of – city=Eden (?)
       c
       and=whose – duration (‘length’) – is [+NOT]  – as long – (as) her’s (‘Babylon’) ,
       d
       [… unknown : ‘and the breadth’ …]   
       e
       and he measured=added – the city=time (?) of – reed=Babylon (as previous ?)
       f
       on=to – the stadia=(…sacred one ?…) (stadion=hagios?) – (as?) 12,000
       g
       [now a description about that ‘corrupt number’ ? :] 
       –
       (as) the length=years (similar but identifying ‘12000’ !) of – [+his]  and=rule (!) (kai=kanôn?) 
       h
       (over) the breadth=sons (platos=yhios) of – and=Ishral 
       i
       (until) her=their – height=deity (God) – (would) is=destroy – equal=them ;
       17
       [=then]  – he measured=MULTIPLIED (?) – the wall=number of – it (‘12,000’ !)
       [now with a factor 12 , agáin the eden-number] 
       b
       (into) hundred – forty – four – cubits=thousand (péCHuS=CHiliaS !) ,
       c
       [next : so , so difficult .. what is the conclusion ?
       now immediately a subject that IS ‘144,000’ mst follow ;
       if previous was ‘against the sons’ the now ‘against God’ (also b/c of ‘factor 12’ now) ?  —
       a “144,000 as a remnant that would never die to their flesh” has no follow-up
       while Adam would never ‘give any opening’ ! 
       or has Esau cut-out an essential next 2-3 lines ?
       (as) the man=fragmented (‘scattered’) (?) (anthrópos=skorpizô) – [=light ?] 
       d
       which – is of – angel=Eden (?) ;                        [goto 18 :]     [and becómes our attributes (in part II) ?]  
       hm ,
 
                                            the required juxta (-change) now as intro to part II
 
       … only 1 line (18) is left before “the 12 tribes” (us 144,000) 
       which already stárts with the “eden-light & gemstones” theme ,
       yet here we are in complete destruction by Adam , still ;
       do we first need “God rising up the 144” as perhaps lines 3-6 here (moved !) ? 
       but we still need some final conclusion after previous :
       idea is from Genesis 9 :
       18
       ” And the building of the wall of it was [of]  jasper: 
       and the city [was]  pure gold, like unto clear glass.”
       as
       [=so that]  – her=their – wall=deity – (will)  (?) – [+not]  was=return
       b
       (to) [+his]  building=sanctuary (‘close’ ! and see part II) – jasper=forever (?) .
       c
       [impossible b/c totally invented]                                                                   [start juxta : God counters him :] 
       3
       ” And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 
       Behold, the tabernacle of God [is]  with men, and he will dwell with them, 
       and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be]  their God.”
       as
       [=then]  – I hear – a great – voice (of God) – from – heaven , saying :          [<<  follows well now !] 
       b
       behold ! , the temple=(… scroll / mercy ?..)  of – god=me – (is) with – the men=sons (16 above)
       c
                             [next 3-4 lines : utterly impossible :] 
                             though theme is “God countering Adam via the sons”
                             any buildup is too corrupt – even we know what we need ,
                             where ‘write’ and ‘words’ in 5 must be about understanding the scroll ;
 
 
 

                                                                        second half    
  
       line 21 , about us :
       because line 12 was about “12 + months + on the chiefs of + his people” 
       per the juxta it must be “upon the heads of us (-as 144,000) !
       but because we have not been introduced yet , lines 19-20 must be this ,
       therefore NO ‘twelve type gems listed’ but ‘the twelve tribes’ !
       though it is póssible that “gems are connected with each tribe” like the
       stones in the breastplate of the high-priest , as the gems representing the
       type qualities of the Eden-light which is what her ’12 seasons’ are about ,
       [added :
       oh – so therefore in the Gilgamesh epic ‘the mother-goddess had hung a
       pendant of sapphire around her neck’ , read : stolen from Eden]  ,
       but certainly no “counting” (the first .. the second..) has shown here :
       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;”
       as
       and the light + for the seasons of + eden 
       is like all kinds of + precious + gems ,
       [swapped :] 
       as the jasper of the foundation=tribe of first=Reuben ,
       as the sapphire of second=Benjamin : sapphire ,                              (etc)
       …. 
       next 21 :
       “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.”
       this is tricky :
       because in Rev.7 already “12,000 (souls) of every tribe” is listed the
       question is what phrasing we need here [espécially since there is a
       bizarre one-word term for 144 (in Rev) as oppesed to the full writing
       of it (in above line 17) ‘hundred + forty + four’ costing us much text]  ;
       attempt ,
       [and see Adam’s 144,000 line , above !] 
       as
       [=so that by]  the twelve – gates=gems of – the twelve – pearls=tribes
       b
       [..]  – one=all of – the each=light of – gate=eden – (will be) was=carried   
       c
       out=by – the one=hundred – pearl=forty [+four]  [+thousand]  ;
       [but Esau could not use the + four + thousand]  ;
       the buildup is very strong now 
 
       next : though next 22 is totally unclear ,
       line 23 after that is about ‘the light of + the moon (God’s sanctuary)’ 
       distributing these types light over the eden-land !
       so that line 22 ,
       “And I saw no temple therein: 
       for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”
       was
       then – I see – the sanctuary of – not=God – in – her (‘eden’) ,
       b
       [.. unknown 3x ..] 
       c
       (for) the almighty=temple (‘swapped’) – is=distributes (?)
       d
       the temple=light (‘of 12 type gems’) – (to) her – and=as – a – lamb=moon ;  
       here ,
       after ‘sanctuary’ MUST follow a further description (‘moon’) while it should
       still be linked to ‘the light as gems’ previously ;
       btw also in the Genesis buildup “Adam starts about the moon(s)” in ch.9] 
       so that next 23 can be about “the binary sun & moon of eden” 
       which ‘just shine’ to indicate times but have NO specific light-qualities ! :
       23
       “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:
       for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is]  the light thereof.”  
       as
       because – the city=land (or ‘eden’) – not=also – has – the need=light of
       b
       nor=her – sun – (and) moon – that – shine – upon – her ,
       c
       for=but – the=nót – (like) the glorious one (‘light’) – (by) the god=sanctuary
       d
       illuminates – her ;       [.. + 5x unknown ..] 
       … not bad ;
 
       lines 24-27 : unknown / impossible ; anyway the theme seems closed now
