The measurement of 4,500 cubits (approximately 1.5 miles or 2.4 kilometers) reflects the precise and orderly nature of God's design for the city. This mirrors the detailed instructions given for the construction of the Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple, emphasizing God's desire for order and holiness. The south side's inclusion in the vision signifies completeness, as all directions are accounted for, symbolizing the all-encompassing nature of God's kingdom.<p><b>there will be three gates:</b><br>The presence of three gates on each side of the city is significant, as it represents the accessibility and openness of God's kingdom to all tribes of Israel. The number three often symbolizes completeness and divine perfection in biblical numerology. This arrangement is reminiscent of the encampment of the Israelites around the Tabernacle in the wilderness, where each tribe had a designated position, indicating order and unity among God's people.<p><b>the gate of Simeon,</b><br>Simeon, the second son of Jacob and Leah, is one of the tribes of Israel. Historically, the tribe of Simeon was absorbed into the territory of Judah, losing its distinct identity. The inclusion of a gate named after Simeon in the New Jerusalem signifies restoration and the fulfillment of God's promises to all tribes, regardless of their historical circumstances. It highlights God's faithfulness and the reunification of His people.<p><b>the gate of Issachar,</b><br>Issachar, the fifth son of Jacob and Leah, is known for its agricultural prosperity and wisdom. The tribe of Issachar was characterized by its understanding of the times and seasons, as noted in <a href="/1_chronicles/12-32.htm">1 Chronicles 12:32</a>. The gate of Issachar in the New Jerusalem symbolizes the integration of wisdom and discernment into the eternal city, reflecting the values that God esteems in His kingdom.<p><b>and the gate of Zebulun.</b><br>Zebulun, the sixth son of Jacob and Leah, was a tribe known for its maritime activities and trade. The inclusion of Zebulun's gate suggests the diversity and richness of the New Jerusalem, where different gifts and callings are celebrated. Zebulun's association with the sea also points to the expansive reach of God's kingdom, extending beyond geographical and cultural boundaries. This gate, like the others, underscores the unity and inclusivity of God's eternal plan for His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/simeon.htm">Simeon</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Simeon, the second son of Jacob and Leah.
