The Gates of New Jerusalem
48:30-35

• The suburban area surrounds the city all around before the gates.
• Facing the suburb to the north are the gates of Reuben, Judah and Levi.
• The eastern gates are named for Joseph, Benjamin and Dan.
• The city's southern gates are named for Simeon, Issachar and Zebulun.
• The gates which face the west are named for the tribe of Gad, Asher and Naphtali.
• From the time forward -- after the sanctuary is actually built upon the mountain -- the new Jerusalem will be called (approximately) Yahweh shammeh, which roughly translates to, The LORD is there.
• New Jerusalem is the bride, the Lamb's wife, per Revelation 21, and per Jeremiah 31:22, "For the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth. A woman shall compass a man." She dwells in peace and in security with her master and lord within her midst, Psalm 46:5 in its context.
