What does the Bible say about the gates of the city in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

The gates of the city in Revelation signify God's protection and invitation to His chosen people.

In Revelation 21, the gates represent the security and accessibility provided by God to His elect. There are 12 gates, each symbolically linked to the 12 tribes of Israel, indicating that all who enter are the chosen ones, inscribed in the Lamb's Book of Life. These gates are not physical barriers, but spiritual invitations to partake in the grace and righteousness of God. The presence of angels at these gates, oftentimes seen as messengers of the church, emphasizes the preaching of the gospel that calls and brings in God's people from every kindred, nation, and tongue.
