What Does 2 Chronicles 3:4 Mean?
The porch, or entrance hall, spans the full width of the temple and rises to a great height, overlaid inside with pure gold. It is the threshold a worshipper crosses, the first thing the eye meets.
Even the entryway gleams, for the way into God's presence is itself glorious. The gold at the door says that approach to the Holy One is not mean or grudging but radiant. Christ would later name Himself the door, the bright and costly way through which all may come in.
