gate of the New Jerusalem; gateway, entrance gate
2. gateway, entrance gate — A physical gateway or entrance to a building, house, or compound in an earthly setting. This sense covers the gate of the rich man's house (Luke 16:20), Simon the tanner's gate (Acts 10:17), the iron gate leading to the city from the prison (Acts 12:13-14), and the gateway where Peter was recognized after denying Jesus (Matt 26:71). The Korean uses 'daemun' (main gate of a house/compound) for the Acts and Luke references, distinguishing these as domestic or urban entrance gates. Also includes the gates of the city of Lystra before which sacrifices were brought (Acts 14:13). 7×

1. gate of the New Jerusalem — The monumental gates of the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, as described in Revelation 21-22. All eleven occurrences in this cluster come from the eschatological vision of the holy city, describing the twelve gates (three on each side), their composition from single pearls, their angelic guardians, and the fact that they will never be shut. The Korean consistently uses 'mun-deul' (gates/doors), and the Hebrew renders with 'she'arim' (city gates). This represents a specialized apocalyptic-architectural usage distinct from ordinary earthly gates. 11×
