The Names of the Twelve Tribes of Israel Are Inscribed On the Gates of the New Jerusalem, the Glorified Church

We find the names of the twelve tribes of Israel are written on the gates of the wall of the new Jerusalem, while the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb are inscribed in the foundations of the wall.

The new Jerusalem, beyond all question, is the Wife of the Lamb, the glorified Church, the Body of Christ. The fact that the names of the tribe of Israel, and the names of the twelve Jewish Apostles of the Lamb, are written on the gates and foundations of the wall, most significantly reveals Israel to be the Kingdom of God—an Israel born again in Christ.

Thus the new Jerusalem, the hope and destiny of every true member of God’s elect, has on its gates and foundations of its wall the names of twenty-four Jews.
