Matthew 24

Coming of the Son of Man; Second Coming of Christ; Gate is closed until Christ Comes

A gate in the walled city of Jerusalem. Also: Potsherd Gate; Beautiful Gate

EAST GATE The eastern gate of the temple or tabernacle.

The eastern entrance of the sacred area was always the most important, from the time of the tabernacle to the time of Herod. Exodus 27:13–16 describes the gate by which the congregation entered. It was closed by a 20-cubit-wide embroidered screen. It is also mentioned in Num 4:26. In Solomon’s temple, while the location of the gate to the great court is not mentioned (2 Chr 4:9), it is likely that it was on the east. In Ezekiel’s temple, “The glory of Yahweh came to the temple by the way of the gate facing east” (Ezek 43:4). While no mention is made of the east gate of the temple of Zerubbabel, it was likely still the most important one. Finally, in Herod’s temple, the great east gate was the “Beautiful Gate” where Peter healed the lame man in Acts 3:1–10.

(Ezekiel 43: 1-4)
