WHY THE GATES? 

4 THINGS ABOUT GATES

  • Gates were places of battle. Victory or failure is decided at the gates (Judges 5:8).

  • Gates were places of authority and decision making (Ruth 4:11).

  • Prophets declared God’s Word at the gates (Jeremiah 17:19-20).

  • Wisdom cries aloud at the gates (Proverbs 8:3).

WHAT ARE GATES?

  • A gate is an entrance to a city, community, or the borders and boundaries of a nation.

  • It’s where access is granted or denied, and entry and exit are controlled.

  • It's an altar and meeting place.

  • It’s a symbol of power and authority.
