A cubit is an ancient measurement roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 centimeters, making this side approximately 6,750 feet or about 2,057 meters. This measurement reflects the precise and orderly nature of God's design for the New Jerusalem, emphasizing the perfection and completeness of God's kingdom. The west side's inclusion in the vision signifies the comprehensive nature of God's promise, extending to all directions and tribes of Israel.<p><b>there will be three gates</b><br>The presence of three gates on each side of the city symbolizes accessibility and the welcoming nature of God's kingdom. In ancient cities, gates were crucial for defense, trade, and social interaction. Spiritually, these gates represent the entry points into the divine presence, open to all who are part of God's covenant community. The number three often signifies completeness and divine perfection in biblical numerology, further underscoring the fullness of God's plan.<p><b>the gate of Gad</b><br>Gad was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Jacob's seventh son by Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The inclusion of Gad's gate signifies the tribe's place in the eternal inheritance of God's people. Historically, the tribe of Gad settled east of the Jordan River, known for their warrior spirit. This gate may symbolize strength and protection, reflecting the tribe's characteristics and their role in the community of Israel.<p><b>the gate of Asher</b><br>Asher, another of the twelve tribes, was named after Jacob's eighth son by Zilpah. The tribe of Asher was known for its abundance and prosperity, as Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a> suggests: "Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king." The gate of Asher may symbolize blessing and provision, highlighting the richness of God's kingdom and the spiritual nourishment available to His people.<p><b>and the gate of Naphtali</b><br>Naphtali was named after Jacob's sixth son by Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. The tribe of Naphtali was known for its swiftness and agility, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-21.htm">Genesis 49:21</a>: "Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns." The gate of Naphtali may represent freedom and beauty, pointing to the liberation and grace found in God's presence. This gate, like the others, signifies the inclusion of all tribes in the divine promise and the unity of God's people in the eschatological vision.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile who received visions from God, including the vision of the new temple and the division of the land among the tribes of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/gad.htm">Gad</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after one of Jacob's sons.
