"And behold, I am coming quickly.
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."
Revelation 22:7 NASB
It
shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very
precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high
wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the
gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There were
three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and
three on the west.
Revelation 21:15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls.
Revelation 21:21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.
Revelation 21:25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.
Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city."
On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel
Ezekiel 48:30-34 "These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which is 4,500 cubits long (one cubit = 18 inches or 45 centimeters), the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. The three gates on the north side will be the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah and the gate of Levi. On the east side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin and the gate of Dan. On the south side, which measures 4,500 cubits, will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar and the gate of Zebulun. On the west side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher and the gate of Naphtali."
