1 | What is this "open door?" | Rev 4:1 | Mommapbs | 30376 | ||
Greetings Nolan, Emmaus and Ray! Thank you for your insight. I am still chewing on this. After looking up some additional references (Matthew 24: 33-4; Matthew 25:10; John 10:9) I am getting a different view of this "Door!" I am reminded of the door on the Ark - God shut that one, will this door be shut too? How long will it be open? Thinking about the reference in Rev 3:20 to the door of our heart (which is closed until we choose to open it) and contrasting it to the heart of God which is OPEN, (God is patient , not wanting anyone to perish 2Peter3:9) is also thought provoking. (Further shows that we are createdin His likeness - each of us have a "door" of desire or a "will.") Yes, I know I'm stretching WAY out there! But this is how God seems to lead me along - with "object lessons"! Not being a Greek scholar limits my exploration, but having the Spirit of Christ I believe it is necessary for me to continue to seek until the truths the Lord wants me to know are revealed! (And I pursue His Truth with the full knowlege that this may not be until I get to Heaven, then of course it won't matter!)Blessings to you! Mommapbs |

2 | What is this "open door?" | Rev 4:1 | Ray | 30414 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, I'm glad that we could help you in your meditating. It sounds like you've done some good "chewing" on the Bread of life. I wonder if the "door" should be capitalized, however, because John 10:6 says, "This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them..." The door and the good shepherd were figures of speech yet (He) goes *before them, just as your Matthew 25 reference leads us to verse 32, "And all the nations will be gathered *before (Him).
