2 Chron. 3:14• 14And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon. (2 Chron. 3:14)
• They were five cubits high, the number of responsibility, particularly manward, as Christ measured up fully to God’s requirement of man, and is the standard He has set for us. (“The Court” by S. Ridout)
• White linen, then, is to be the character of our walk in our relation to the world. Sometimes people say: It is a good thing when men speak evil against you. The Lord Jesus said: “Blessed are ye when men shall say all manner of evil against you.” Yes, He did, with the added word, “falsely, for My sake.” If it is for Christ’s sake and falsely, we can bless God for it; but let us see to it that it is not because the garment is spotted by the flesh—to our shame, and misrepresentation of our blessed Lord. (“The Court” by S. Ridout)
• The materials of the gate are the same as those of the curtain—they speak of Christ. He is the Door; by Him “if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture.” (“The Court” by S. Ridout)
• Silver hooks, showing us that it is the gospel of Christ which we are to hold up in our testimony as the way for people to come in from the world among the professed people of God. Enter in by Christ, and you are saved. No one dare to enter the court of the tabernacle in any other way than by the gate. “I am the Door,” not a door, as if there were others (“The Court” by S. Ridout)
