"And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

• The gates are named after the 12 tribes of Israel (Revelation 21:12).

River of Life

• A river of life flows from the throne of God and the Lamb, and it is said to be the source of life for the city (Revelation 22:1-2).

Tree of Life

• The Tree of Life is located on both sides of the river, and its fruit is said to be for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:2).

Heavenly Temple
