The Temple Balustrade Inscription....
No stranger is to enter within the balustrade round the temple and enclosure.
Whoever is caught will be himself responsible for his ensuing death.
I believe the Entrance Gate in King Herod's time was known as the Gate of Nicanor. I believe the decorative gate Balustrade was built on the outside of the Gate of Nicanor to include the court of woman.
The Temple Balustrade Inscription highlighted the significance of Israelis in relationship to the things of God. Non-Israelis, or Gentiles, even Roman Citizens were forbidden to enter the Balustrade on penalty of death. And Paul made reference to the importance of having this entrance way made available to Gentiles.
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us - Ephesians 2:13-14
From the devotionals of William Seymour...
1. The Entrance Gate- Justification - Faith to enter in.
2. The Altar - Salvation- if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Roman's 10:9 - Christ is our sacrifice!
3. The Laver - The clean effects of sanctification.
4. Table of Showbread – Daily into the word of God
5. Light at the Lightstand - Faith, hope, charity, joy, grace, love, warmth, etc. With sanctification came a sweet spirit!
6. The Golden Incense Alter - Prayer and Praise meetings.
7. The Holy of Holies - The Shekinah Glory and Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
A full salvation is something, I believe, to be worked out...
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. - Philippians 2:12
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; - Hebrews 2:3
I am still learning and studying this... Any help here is appreciated!
