Exodus 27:16, "And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework:"
It was at this one single door in the solid wall of white Linen that a way, a door, a gate was made to approach the place of God's presence.
White linen: Revelation 19:7-8, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."
Red (scarlet): Scarlet represented the blood of all the sacrifices that must be made before sinful flesh can be accepted by God, and most of all, it represented the Blood that would be shed by the fleshly body of our Lord Jesus Christ as he paid the debt for sin and death.
Blue: Blue stands for the things of Heaven. The Great God of the heavens came in the form of man to redeem man.
Purple: Purple represented royalty and represents the fact that Jesus, our sacrifice, is also King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Also purple is a mixture of both Blue and Scarlet, representing the fact that the King of Heaven gave his blood for you and I as God manifested in the flesh, becoming the only Mediator between God and man.
The Door of the Outer Court was supported by wooden pillars that were based in brass sockets, with silver capitals. The door curtain was fastened to the pillars with gold hooks, instead of Silver hooks.
It wasn't the guilt of sin requiring judgment, represented in the silver, that held Jesus to the cross. It was His mercy and His grace, that held him to that tree on Calvary. That love, mercy and grace came from Heaven, represented by the Gold hooks that held the Door in place.
All of the colors were woven together to become one complete Door.
John 10:9, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Four brass pillars stand in brass sockets to support of the Curtain that was the Door. 4 great witnesses tell of the story of His death, burial and resurrection--Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and their words stand as a supporting testimony of the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE--Jesus Christ. "I am the door."
This is the true "Gate Beautiful."
Truly one must see the beauty of the Acts 2:38 message of salvation when they experience the ONLY way that leads to life everlasting!
Also one might understand how the lame man "at the gate beautiful" was able to enter into the temple -- THROUGH the NAME of Jesus Christ!
In Revelation 3:8 Jesus tells the church, "… behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name."
In Revelation 4:1, John saw and open door in Heaven and heard the voice of God call for him to come up. Jesus is the door, and he has opened the way to salvation and no man can close it.
