Gates, Tribes and the 4 Faces of God for Discovery and Confirmation

Bill Brady  2/4/2019

As a City New Jerusalem has 12 Gates.

  • 3 on each side of the City.
  • Each Gate is one of the Tribes of Israel.

As a Temple New Jerusalem has 4 Gates. 

  • North
  • South
  • East
  • West
  • Each Gate is one of the 4 Faces of God.

There are 12 Cities / Thrones of the Body / Bride of Christ. 

  • These 12 thrones correspond to the 12 Gates of New Jerusalem as a City.
  • The 12 thrones are grouped into 4 groups of 3 thrones.
  • These are the 3 Strands of DNA for the Spirit, the Son, the Father and Man.
  • Each of the 4 groups is one of the 4 Faces of God.

The 4 Faces of God:

  1. The Kingdom = the Spirit = the Ox Face of God = the Prophetic.
  2. The City of God = the Son = the Eagle Face of God = the Apostolic.
  3. The Government of God = the Father = the Lion Face of God =  Kingship.
  4. The One New Adam = the Man Face of God = the Man Face of God = Priesthood.
  • We move into each Face in the above order.

This gives us the full meaning of Matthew 6:33. 

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…”

  • Why seek?
  • Because seeking is one of the stages between seeing revelation and becoming the fullness of it.
  • 1) See the revelation, 2) Receive the revelation and 3) Seek to enter into the revelation.

Why seek first the kingdom of God?

  • Because the Kingdom of God is the first thing on our Journey.
  • It is an expression of the Spirit.

“…for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”  Romans 14:17

  • Why seek first His righteousness?
  • Because Righteousness is the first throne of 3 thrones that make up the Kingdom of God.

This verse shows us that there is an order to entering into the 12 Cities / Thrones.

  • We are to seek to enter into each Throne / City in their order.
  • Beginning with the Spirit / Kingdom / Ox Face of God.
  • Beginning at first Throne which is Righteousness.
  • Beginning at the Beginning and Journeying to the End / Completion.
  • We do not reach the End / Completion until you have become the fullness of each Throne.

I am asking these questions for Discovery: 

  • Which Gate of the 12 Gates is which Tribe?
  • Does this mean that there are 12 major ecclesias and each is one of the Tribes of Israel?
  • Does this mean that every believer has a destined connection to one of the 12 Tribes / ecclesias?
  • Does this mean that 4 of the Tribes are also one of the 4 NSEW Gates?
  • Is each of these 4 Tribes also one of the 4 Faces of God?
  • Does this mean that every believer is meant to cross pollinate with each of these 4 Tribes?
