What does it mean that the city has twelve foundations?

Answered in 1 source

The twelve foundations symbolize the apostolic authority and the elect of God established by Christ.

Revelation 21 mentions twelve foundations for the city, which represent the twelve apostles of the Lamb. This signifies that the church is built upon the foundation of the doctrine taught by the apostles, reflecting the sovereignty of God's election. Each apostle’s name on the foundations denotes the authority given by Christ to the apostles to proclaim the Gospel. As a result, the existence of these foundations indicates that the church is securely anchored in the truth of God revealed through His Word and sustained throughout history, designed for His glory.
