Apocalypse 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 21:13

On the east three gates
On which were written the names of Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan:

on the north three gates;
on which were written the names of Reuben, Judah, and Levi:

on the south three gates;
on which were written the names of Simeon, Issachar, and Zabulon:

and on the west three gates;
on which were written the names of Gad, Asher, and Naphtali; see ( Ezekiel 48:31-34 ) . This denotes the collection of the saints from all parts of the world, who shall come from east, west, north, and south, and sit down in the kingdom of God; and therefore here are gates at every point to enter in at; see ( Isaiah 43:5 Isaiah 43:6 ) ( Luke 13:29 ) .

Apocalypse 21:13 In-Context

11 Avec la gloire de Dieu. Et son éclat était semblable à celui d'une pierre très précieuse, telle qu'une pierre de jaspe cristallin.
12 Elle avait une grande et haute muraille, avec douze portes, et aux douze portes douze anges et des noms écrits, c'étaient les noms des douze tribus des enfants d'Israël.
13 A l'Orient, trois portes; au Septentrion, trois portes; au Midi, trois portes; à l'Occident, trois portes.
14 La muraille de la ville avait douze fondements, sur lesquels étaient les noms des douze apôtres de l'Agneau.
15 Et celui qui me parlait avait un roseau d'or pour mesurer la ville, et ses portes, et sa muraille.
