One reason gates surround Jerusalem is to provide security and protection for the city. Historically, the walls and gates helped defend against invasions and attacks from surrounding enemies, ensuring the safety of its inhabitants. Additionally, the gates served as controlled entry points, regulating trade and movement in and out of the city. This combination of defense and control has been crucial throughout Jerusalem's long and complex history.

Why are the gates of Heaven called the Pearly Gates. What about the Gates of Hell?

The gates of heaven are called "pearly gates" because of the description found in Revelation 21:21 - The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. [NKJV]Scripture offers no description of the gates of hell.For the sake of accuracy, it's notable that the Bible doesn't use the expression "gates of heaven" or "heavenly gates." Revelation 21 contains a metaphorical description of "the holy city, New Jerusalem," which John described as "coming down out of heaven from God" in Revelation 21:2.
