Ministry on This Verse

Ezek. 48:31‑34• 31And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
 32And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
 33And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
 34At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali. (Ezek. 48:31‑34)
• The gate of a city in Scripture was always the place of judgment, and inasmuch as there are twelve here, three on each side, it will denote the perfectness of the administration of justice in the government of that day. The kingdom character of this administration is denoted by the names of the twelve tribes on the gates, and indicating also, perhaps, at the same time, that it is through Israel as a center that the administration in government will be conducted. Twelve angels are stationed at the gates: in the dispensations previous to Christianity they were God’s providential agents in His governmental order; but they are now “the willing door keepers of the great city” which will be the heavenly metropolis of Messiah’s glorious kingdom. (article #56798)
