Revelation 21:12-26
The city had a massive high wall, with 12 gates. Twelve angels were at the gates; the names of the 12 tribes of Israel’s sons were inscribed on the gates.There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.The city wall had 12 foundations, and the 12 names of the Lamb’s 12 apostles were on the foundations.The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.The city is laid out in a square; its length and width are the same. He measured the city with the rod at 12,000 stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.Then he measured its wall, 144 cubits according to human measurement, which the angel used.The building material of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold like clear glass.The foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.The 12 gates are 12 pearls; each individual gate was made of a single pearl. The broad street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.I did not see a sanctuary in it, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its sanctuary.The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God’s glory illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.Each day its gates will never close because it will never be night there.They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

Galatians 4:26-31
But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.For it is written: Rejoice, childless woman, who does not give birth. Burst into song and shout, you who are not in labor, for the children of the desolate are many, more numerous than those of the woman who has a husband.Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.But just as then the child born according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so also now.But what does the Scripture say? Drive out the slave and her son, for the son of the slave will never be a coheir with the son of the free woman.Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.
