“Then He brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces toward the east, but it was shut. And the Lord said to me, “This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lord God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.” Ezekiel 44:1-2 

The gate into the presence of God is shut and will not be opened. That’s because the Holiness of God exists there, and no sin is able to live in His presence. We have all inherited sin into our nature which has separated us from Him, and we are all subject to eternal death in the fire of hell, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men…” Romans 1:18

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.” 1 Corinthians 15:50 The question becomes, “How can we be saved and enter into God’s presence as the temple of Holy Spirit?” The disciples of Jesus Christ asked Him this question, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:25-26 Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
