A trumpet announces a lost soul’s return through Heaven’s jasper gates. The Lord proclaims the news, triggering universal rejoicing: golden streets pulse, 10,000 harps play, cherubim dance, seraphim cast crowns, and archangels lead praise. The Father runs to embrace the prodigal with robe, ring, and feast. This one sinner’s homecoming surpasses the joy over ninety-nine righteous, proving Heaven’s greatest celebration honors redemption.

Luke 15:7
“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”

Luke 15:10
“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”

Luke 15:20
“And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”

Luke 15:22
“But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.”

Luke 15:23
“And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry.”

Revelation 4:2-3
“And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone…”

Revelation 4:6
“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal…”

Revelation 4:8
“And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty…”

Revelation 4:10
“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne…”

Revelation 5:8
“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps…”

Revelation 21:18
“And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.”

Revelation 21:21
“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls… And the street of the city was pure gold…”

Revelation 22:1
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

Revelation 2:17
“To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna…”

Isaiah 6:2
“Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.”

Ezekiel 10:2
“And he spake unto the man clothed with linen… saying, Go in between the wheels… and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims…”

Revelation 12:7
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon…”

Luke 1:19
“And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee…”

Psalm 150:3
“Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.”

Revelation 19:1
“And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God.”

Hebrews 12:22-23
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.”

Exodus 16:31
“And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.”

In vaults of gold where seraphs soar,
And crystal rivers sing forevermore,
A trumpet blasts through jasper gates,
And Heaven trembles with exultant fates!

The Lord of Hosts, with eyes of flame,
Proclaims with joy that shakes His name:
“Rejoice, ye saints, and angels bright,
A soul once lost returns to light!”

The golden streets, with amethyst aglow,
Pulse with the rhythm of celestial flow.
Ten thousand harps, with strings of starlight spun,
Weave psalms of triumph, second to none.

Cherubim, with wings of sapphire flame,
Dance in spirals, chanting His name.
Seraphim, with faces veiled in awe,
Cast crowns of ruby at the mercy-thaw.

From emerald hills where fountains leap and play,
The elder saints in robes of purest day
Lift voices clear as morning’s primal dew,
Singing, “Glory! One more joins the crew!”

The great archangels, Michael’s sword ablaze,
And Gabriel, whose clarion praise
Shakes the foundations of the eternal city,
Lead choirs in a hymn of boundless mercy.

Before the throne, where jasper rivers gleam,
The Lamb’s own light outshines the noonday beam,
A table’s spread with manna, honey sweet,
For one poor soul, now clothed in love complete.

No king on earth, with pomp and sceptered might,
Has seen such splendor in the dead of night.
No crown of laurel, no triumphal car,
Can match the welcome of one wandering star.

For lo! The Father runs with arms outspread,
The robe, the ring, the fatted calf are led.
The sinner, once in shadows bound,
Is crowned with joy where grace is found.

And all the host, from utmost sphere to throne,
With peals of rapture, makes the welkin moan:
“One sinner’s turn doth angels’ hearts enflame,
More than ninety-nine that never knew shame!”

So let the bells of pearl forever ring,
Let every star its silver anthem sing!
In Heaven’s heart, the greatest feast is spread
For one soul saved, one heart from darkness led.
