SAPPHIRE NEW JERUSALEM

The LORD asked me to paint him a 'Sapphire', Sapphires also remind me of Princess Diana, our Queen of Hearts.  While I was painting I could smell the beer again. [1] So what do we have on Sapphire? There is Sapphire Mountain Brewing Company, in Sapphire, North Carolina. [2]

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH  Arkell's New Ale Launched for Royal Wedding Ten-year old Millie Hemphill has won a competition held by Upper Stratton’s Ruskin Junior School and Arkell’s Brewery to come up with a name and design for the brewery’s Royal ale, which will be on sale in Arkell’s pubs across Swindon from early April. Millie's Blue Sapphire Tribute to Royal Couple Ten-year old Millie Hemphill has won a competition held by Upper Stratton’s Ruskin Junior School and Arkell’s Brewery to come up with a name and design for the brewery’s Royal ale, which will be on sale in Arkell’s pubs across Swindon from early April.

Her name for the Royal beer is Blue Sapphire. Millie said: “I named the beer because of the engagement ring Prince William gave to Kate Middleton.” Millie’s name and design for the beer was chosen from almost 100 entries from Ruskin pupils and brewery director George Arkell, along with Head Brewer Don Bracher, visited the school last Friday to announce the news. 

George said: “We were absolutely delighted at the number of entries we received for this competition and we had a really hard time to come up with the eventual winner. We did draw up a shortlist of five but Millie won because her chosen name matched her lovely design for the pump clip. She had obviously spent a lot of time thinking about the project and doing the design. Well done Millie.” The short list of five included: Georgia Simms, Class 7 who came up with the name of Royal Windsor, Adam Crook, Class 10: Royal Ale. Megan Attwood, Class 4: Royal Hearts and Kayleigh Beveridge, Class 7: Wiki Malt Ale (a clever anagram of William and Kate). Blue Sapphire will be sold as cask ale only, and available in polypins for local and street celebrations. It will be brewed from Organic First Gold Hops and have an ABV of 4.7%.

Goodness gracious me, whatever will they come up with next. Now they have got children giving them free corporate designs for their corporate products. Is nothing sacred? 

So what does the bible say about the Sapphire? 

The Sapphire appears in the book of Revelation and it is to do with the building of New Jerusalem. It mentions a "JASPER' and then the 'SAPPHIRE'. Rev 21:19 

How wonderful is that, Jasper Conran is a designer who designed for the Sapphire, Princess Diana. Jasper is also the son of Terence Conran of Habitat fame. 

JASPER = DESIGNER [4] 

BLUE SAPPHIRE = COMPASSIONATE ACTION

The Angelic Architects mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls have arrived has predicted. However, could you just imagine how beautiful it would be if Jasper Conran got involved in the design of the interiors etc.
