Revelation 21:12-14 (ESV)
12 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
When the New Jerusalem descends to earth, the Jews will minister between the people of the earth and the living temple of God. They will at last work the ground of the earth as Adam was charged to do. They will administer His light into all the world and act as the twelve leaves of the tree of life for the healing of the nations.
Through the gates of the twelve tribes of Israel, the people of the earth will have access to the city.
