Glimpses of God
The Door
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved
for him. And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a
hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and
when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my
sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood
at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of
Israel was over them above.
And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims
lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned
not from beside them. When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted
up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was
in them.
Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and
stood over the cherubims. And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted
up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside
them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's house; and
the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before
the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the
sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But
he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door
of the sheep.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and
out, and find pasture.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
