• The hanging for the gate of the court is the same as the curtain forming the entrance into the holy place, and, as in that, adumbrates {foreshadows} Christ in all that He is in connection with the earth, His heavenly character, His royal glories as Son of man and as Son of David, and His spotless purity. Once again there are no cherubim, and this is because He is here the Door, the Way, as presented to the world; for we are told that God sent not His Son to judge the world (that was not His mission then), but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:17). (“The Court of the Tabernacle: Exodus 27:9-19” by E. Dennett)
