Read Revelation 21 in context

Scripture Focus

12And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Revelation 21:12-14

Biblical Context

The vision presents a wall with twelve gates named after the twelve tribes and a foundation bearing the twelve apostles. It portrays a structured inner city representing the state of consciousness and the faculties and principles you already possess.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is not a distant future city but your present state of being. The wall is the solidity of your I AM, the boundary of your current awareness. The twelve gates, each bearing a tribe’s name, are the twelve faculties of consciousness you already possess—perception, faith, loyalty, wisdom, courage, mercy, truth, justice, peace, joy, gratitude, and love—through which you may pass into fullness. The twelve foundations, inscribed with the apostles’ names, are the steadfast principles by which you anchor experience: self-offering, embodied action, and consistent alignment with truth. The gates face all directions, signaling that every aspect of your being can be invoked. Thus, the Kingdom of God is not future but present, becoming real as you align attention with the I AM. When you believe you are inside, you are; when you feel this moment as finished, you have entered.
