The Gates of Jerusalem...judgment

[whirlwind]

• Jeremiah 17:19-21 Thus said the LORD unto me; "Go and stand in the gate of the children of the People, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; And say unto them, 'Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
  
  17:24 "And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto Me, saith the LORD, 'to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

The gates refer to judgment. One must pass judgment in order to enter the Holy City Jerusalem. Those entering on the sabbath day, the millennium, are the kings and princes. They are His elect.

There is more than one gate to the city, which I'm sure has a spiritual meaning but....there is only one way to achieve entrance.

JUDGMENT...AT the GATE to the Garden of Eden...there are cherubim stationed with a flaming sword that turns every direction to guard the way to the Tree of Life. Soooo, to get to the TREE of LIFE, got to go through the FLAMING SWORD where the two-edged sword in Hebrews does the work of judging!

• Hebrews 4:12
  
  12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
  and sharper than any twoedged sword,
  piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
  and of the joints and marrow,
  and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. KJV
  
  Rev 2:7
  To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life,
  which is in the midst of the paradise of God. KJV

The holy city Jerusalem and....the garden of Eden. As usual Ret, you have made a profound observation.
