The Tabernacle - The Fence and The Door
The wall of the court was 150 x 75 feet wide x 7 ½ feet high. 1 cubit = 18
W________ linen is a type of righteousness. Rev 19:8 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.
The Fence was supported by 60 pillars resting in sockets of brass.
B is a type of judgment.
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
But there is one more material in the fence. There are fillets of silver. S is a type of redemption
Man could not s over the fence.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
The Door - There was only o door.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The door was made of 4 colors 4 Gospels of Christ
Purple Royalty King Matthew Jesus is the Royal one Mat 2:2
Scarlet sacrifice servant Mark
Blue Heaven deity John Jesus is the heavenly one. John 1:1-2 14
White purity perfect man Luke He is the spotless one Luke 1:34-35
The first man looks and the door and refuses to enter because of the blue.
Phi 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Phi 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Phi 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
The second man looks at the door and refuses to enter because of the scarlet in the door. Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
The third man looks at the door and refuses to enter because of the purple.
Joh 19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, Joh 19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
He knows that if he enters in that because Christ is king that he will be expected to be ruled by the King.
Luk 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
He sees that Christ is King, but He refuses to let Him rule over him and so he too walks away.
The forth man sees the white and knows that this King is righteous and that He does not like sin. He knows that this king will ask him to give up his sin. And he turns away because he loves his sin.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
The forth man also does not want to accept Christs righteousness to save him, instead he loves his own righteousness. He wants to work his way to heaven. So he to turns away.
The fifth man is now standing there all alone, and looks at the Blue and accepts the deity. He looks at the scarlet and he accepts the blood that was shed for his sin, he looks at the purple and recognizes Christs right to be King. He looks at the white and is willing to turn from his sin. He is willing to turn away from his righteousness and accept the righteousness of Jesus.
Some of the other men who refused to enter thru the door go and get a ladder and climbed over the fence.
Joh 10:1 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.
You cant take out any one color from the door.
Without Blue, Jesus would not be from heaven.
Without Purple, He would not be a Messiah and King
Without Scarlet, He would not be a Saviour
Without Linen, Jesus would need a Saviour

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Mat 11:30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
But coming to the gate and even accepting everything that it stood for is not enough. You are still on the outside unless you enter in.
Head knowledge alone does not save. Head belief alone does not save. You have to enter in. You have to take action. Just standing at the door does not get you thru. You have to call upon the Lord. There must be a receiving. You must enter the door.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
