“The Gates”

I did an extensive series on the gates some years ago entitled “The Gates” from Nehemiah chapter three. Here is a listing of the gates and the application that I made for them.

1. Sheep Gate (verse 1) speaks to us of Calvary (John 3:16)
2. Fish Gate (verse 3) speaks to us of converts (Matt. 4:19)
3. Old Gate (Verse 6) speaks to us of consistency (Jer. 6:16, Jude 3)
4. Valley Gate (verse 13) speaks to us of condescension (Prov. 16:18)
5.. Dung Gate (verse 114) speaks to us of cleansing (II Cor. 7:1)
6. Fountain Gate (verse 15) speaks to us of (The) Comforter (Jn. 7:37-38)
7. Water Gate (verse 26) speaks to us of (The) Canon (Jn. 15:3)
8. Horse Gate (verse 29) speaks to us of Combat (II Tim. 2:3)
9. East Gate (verse 29) speaks to us of (His) Coming (II Thess. 14:13-18)
10. Miphkad Gate (verse 31) speaks to us of (Our Day In) Court (II Cor. 5:10)
