Donna,

Good point about the angels at the gates of the new Jerusalem.

Revelation 21:12a And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,

Will this be similar to the Cherubims at the entrance to the garden of Eden?

Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

 

But this time at the gates of the new Jerusalem?
