North Gate
Precise and exact is our God
Perfect and holy is He
Perfect and just, the One we can trust
From this gate we can clearly see
God in His temple, He's written His story
All have the same chance to read
Both young and old trod His streets of gold
Forever, through Jesus, we're freed
In His new city, no need for a sun
God is the Lamp and the Light
He's finished His story, all for His glory
It's perfect, it's gorgeous, it's right
God in His temple, He's written His story
All have the same chance to read
Both young and old trod His streets of gold
Forever, through Jesus, we're freed
God in His temple, He's written His story
All have the same chance to read
Both young and old trod His streets of gold
Forever, through Jesus, we're freed.
Ezekiel 40:20-21
Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court. Its alcoves —three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
Revelation 21:15-23
The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.
I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
