Another fun fact, there are no Pearly Gates in the Bible.

John of Patmos would like a word with you:

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

  • Revelation 21:21, KJV

Here's the full chapter for context. There may be some room for arguing whether the "new Jerusalem" is Heaven. But since it's pretty clear that God lives there, I think it fulfills the same general purpose.

Well shit lol.

I guess I was conflating the pearly gates with the idea of St. Peter, and a queue of people - that part isn't in there.
