“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.” (Revelation 22:1) “天使又指示我在城内街道当中一道生命水的河，明亮如水晶，从神和羔羊的宝座流出来。” （启示录：22：1）
“Clear as crystal”或“crystal clear”有“透明”的含义。
一般认为使徒约翰是《圣经》最后一章，即《启示录》的作者。他在书中预言，将来的耶路撒冷会是一座完全建在天堂里的城市，城中的水明亮如水晶。 尽管这个短语的意思在《启示录》翻译以前就广为人所知，但它真正变得家喻户晓还是在《圣经》印刷出版后。后来，“Clear as crystal” 或“crystal clear” 有“透明”的含义。在众多例子中，“crystal clear sky”，“crystal clear explanation” 或者“crystal clear waters” 都蕴含了这意思
