The Gate of the Court

Ver. 16. And for the gate of the court shall be a hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.)
The hanging for the door of the tent, and the vail, were both ten cubits by ten—one hundred cubits square; and the gate of the court twenty cubits by five-one hundred cubits square also; each representing Christ in different aspects:—The gate of the court being typical of Christ, by the faith of whom alone any really become Christians, and have a title to be regarded as such, and power in the Spirit for true fellowship in the Gospel. The door of the tent representing Christ, through whom alone there is access into the Church of God. And the vail representing him as the way by whom only there is access by faith into the holiest of all.
