The symbolic city has a huge wall. In anciet times, city walls were built for security to keep out enemies. New Jerusalem's "great and lofty wall" shows that she is spirituallt secure. No enemy of righteousness, no one unclean or dishonest, will ever be able to gain enterance. (Revelation 21:27) But for those allowed in, entering this beauteous city is like entering Paradise. (Revelation 2:7) After Adam's expulsion, cherubs were posted in front of the original Paradise to keep out unclean humans. (Genesis 3:24) Similarly, angels are posted at each entrance of the holy city Jerusalem to ensure spiritual security of the city. Indeed, throughout the last days, angels have been guarding the congregation of anointed Christians, which becomes New Jerusalem from Babylonish contamination. - MATTHEW 13:41.
