About: Pearly gates

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Pearly gates is an informal name for the gateway to Heaven according to some Christian denominations. It is inspired by the description of the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21:21: "The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate being made from a single pearl." The pearly gates provide the background for a joke cycle: "the premise of these jokes is that admission is not automatic but that the criteria for admission are somewhat arbitrary."

  • Pojem nebeská brána je v křesťanství spojen s vyobrazením vstupu do Nového Jeruzaléma, který je obrazem nebe. Tento neformální název průchodu do nebe je inspirován popisem Nového Jeruzaléma v Bibli, v knize Zjevení Janovo 21:21 "A dvanáct bran je z dvanácti perel, každá z jediné perly. A náměstí toho města je z ryzího zlata jako z průzračného křišťálu" (ekumenický překlad). V populární kultuře je to obraz většinou bílých vrat nebo vrat z tepaného železa v oblacích, u kterých stojí svatý Petr, majitel klíčů od nebeské brány. (cs)
  • Pearly gates is an informal name for the gateway to Heaven according to some Christian denominations. It is inspired by the description of the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21:21: "The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate being made from a single pearl." The image of the gates in popular culture is a set of large gold, white or wrought-iron gates in the clouds, guarded by Saint Peter (the keeper of the "keys to the kingdom"). Those not fit to enter heaven are denied entrance at the gates, and descend into Hell. In some versions of this imagery, Peter looks up the deceased's name in a book, before opening the gate. The pearly gates provide the background for a joke cycle: "the premise of these jokes is that admission is not automatic but that the criteria for admission are somewhat arbitrary." (en)
  • 天国への門(てんごくへのもん)とは、いくつかのキリスト教諸教派による天国に至る門を指す非公式な呼称である。ヨハネの黙示録21:21の中の新しいエルサレムの以下の記述から着想されたものである。 「十二の門は十二の真珠であって、どの門もそれぞれ一個の真珠でできていた。都の大通りは、透き通ったガラスのような純金であった。」 — ヨハネの黙示録21:21、文語訳聖書 大衆文化における天国への門のイメージは、雲の中にあり、「天の国の鍵」(Keys of the kingdom)の番人であるペテロによって守られている、白若しくは錬鉄の門である。天国行きにそぐわない者は門で入場を拒否され、地獄に落ちる。いくつかのイメージの派生では、門を開く前に、ペテロが死者の名前を調べるという。 (ja)
  • I cancelli perlati sono le porte d'ingresso al paradiso secondo alcune denominazioni cristiane, la cui immagine è ispirata dalla descrizione della Nuova Gerusalemme nell'Apocalisse di Giovanni: L'immagine nella cultura popolare è costituita da una serie di grandi cancelli in ferro battuto, sulle nuvole, custoditi da San Pietro. A coloro che non riescono a passare attraverso l'apertura del cancello viene negato l'ingresso e discendono all'inferno. (it)
