The TWO Leaved Gates are the Two AGES!
***What Does Psalm 87:3 TRULY mean?
Here is Psalm 87:3 from the KJV. “Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.”
The saints in Jesus Christ are the CITY of God! In other words. GLORIOUS things are PROPHESIED on my word of YOU, O CITY of Almighty GOd your Creator.
And the only way to enter into the City of God in heaven called the NEW Jerusalem, is to be saved in Jesus Christ by FAITH that he is the CHRIST, the SON of the Loving God.
So, the City of God is both a place to dwell in and also a City of God’s righteous new creation of NEW creatures created in Jesus, which God dwells in.
In other words, God dwells in His ALL of born-again new creation, the church of the firstborn.
And at the coming of Jesus, we who remain faithful, will dwell in the tabernacle of God that will remain in the sky or the orbit of the earth during the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
For you see, we are JOINT-HEIRS with Jesus and we will be given the SAME GLORY that God GAVE to His human Son, Jesus, after the cross and resurrection.
Now, the Bible ALSO refers to the world, as in, the inhabitants of the earth as being a GREAT City called Babylon in Revelation 14:8.
And in Revelation 11:8, the earth is also spiritually called Sodom and Egypt where our Lord was crucified.
Please know and understand that the Hebrew word “trans;ated” and great also means “INSOLENT” city, which means arogennt wicked evil city.
And God is in the process of judging Satan’s city of Babylon to destroy all evil in the lake of fire, when the earth passes away at the end of the world to come, the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
Then God will create a new heaven and a new earth so that the CITY of God, called the New Jerusalem, a City of RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE, can come down to the surface of the new earth after the 1000 year reign of Jesus.

Jesus is the DOOR to TWO Sheepfolds!
This Verse Study on Psalm 87:3 is to learn more about ZION and the GATES.
We already learned in the Verse Study of Psalm 8:1-6 that the very reason for WHY God created us is BECAUSE of His ENEMIES.
But we did not delve in deeper to ask WHY God gave MAN to have DOMINION or RULE over the earth.
In other words, I did not get into explaining the BIG PICTURE of God creating MAN and the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be JOINT-HEIRS to INHERIT the AGES to come.
For you see, there is simply TOO much to cover in one single Verse Study and the average Christian GRASP and RETAIN everything all at once.
But what God showed me was to START with what led me out of darkness and into the light.
In other words, share your own personal testimony of what God is teaching you.
And thus, all of these studies that I have written is what God has shown to me as HIS answers to my questions.
So then, my question was WHY are we here? In other words, why did God create us?
In short, at first, speaking of the ORIGINAL creation of everything that exits, Yahweh created everything PERFECT.
And everything remained perfect for billions of years. But at some point in that AGE of eternity past, one of God’s creation, who the King James Version or translation of the Bible calls Lucifer, corrupted himself.
Lucifer was an Elohim that the Creator SET or anointed to become a god over the earth.
To summarize some things, please know and understand that the words Egypt and Babylon symbolize the FALLEN worlds.
The the first fallen world was the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth.
Then Satan continued in his ways to deceive the WHOLE world to cause this priest world to also fall into sin.
But God knowing His ENEMY had a Lamb SLAIN in His mind and plan, which He kept a SECRET from the princes of the former age.
For you see, according to 1 Corinthians 2:7,8, had the princes of THAT AGE before man KNOWN that Jesus was the Son that was prophesied to ASCEND up to God, according to Proverbs 30:4, then they would have never crucified the Lord of glory.
Now, Babylon is also called that GREAT City in Revelation 14:8 that is PROPHESIED to FALL, because it OPPRESSES the people.
And according to Revelation 11:8, Jesus was crucified in that GREAT City called Sodom and Egypt.
Thus, God in in the process of completely destroying that EVIL city, and He is BUILDING Himself a GREATER CITY.
And that CITY of Yahweh is Zion, the Kingdom of Almighty God, the PLACE in which our Creator desires to DWELL in.
In other words, a CITY is the PEOPLE, the name of the CITY is the PLACE where the people dwell.
If you have already read the Verse Study on Psalm 8:1-6, then you most likely have clicked on the link at the end to that study which brought you here to this study to learn more.
So, in this study, I want to start by reading Isaiah 45:1-3 and explain briefly what the TWO-LEAVED gates means in the light of the whole word of Almighty God.
Isaiah 45:1-3.
“Thus says the LORD to His ANOINTED, to Cyrus, (Now, while Cyrus is a FIGURE of Jesus, Cyrus is also a figure of Satan.
In other words, this is a PROPHECY of God ANOINTING His Messiah to be made His new King over the whole earth to REPLACE the king of this present evil AGE.
And Yahweh promises His Messiah ,Jesus)whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations (Spiritually speaking of the “goy” the troops of their angel king of the bottomless pit, the prison of the locusts in Revelation 9:1-11) before him; (The enemies of Jesus, God ANOINTED to be God’s new King) and I will loose the loins of kings, (Or I, Yahweh will PUT OFF the loins of kings who have become my ENEMIES) to open before him the TWO LEAVED gates; and the gates shall NOT be shut; (Just briefly, the two leave gates is the OPEN invitation of our Creator to enter into His GREAT CITY, the NEW Jerusalem.
The reason that there are TWO gates that are leaved is because God’s first chosen people, the children of Israel rejected their Messiah who alone of the DOOR of the sheepfold, according to John 10:1-18.
So, God turned His OPEN invitation to receive eternal life to the Gentiles in order to provoke the Jews to jealously, according to Romans 11:11.
And God did that for the purpose of getting them to repent and accept Jesus as their Messiah during the world to come, according to Isaiah 11:11.
Thus, ONE gate is for this PRESENT world, and the SECOND gate if for the world to come, the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
And trust me when I say that you do NOT want to miss entering into the FIRST gate to enter the GREAT CITY of God at the coming of Jesus)
Isaiah 45:2. I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: (This is speaking of Yahweh making a WAY to redeem whosoever BELIEVES in Jesus.
In other words, by Yahweh and His ANOINTED human Son, the Son of MAN, Jesus, working together, Yahweh prophesied that the gates of hell would be broken.
But Jesus needed to submit his will to lay down his own life to suffer the SHAME of the cross to die as an innocent man for the sins of the whole world.
And God set a joy before Jesus to endure the cross, according to Hebrews 12:2.
And part of that joy is prophesied in the next verse)
Isaiah 45:3. And I WILL give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, (Referring to all other prophecies such as Proverbs 13:22, the wealth of the sinners being laid up for the JUST to receive during the world to come) THAT you may know that I, the LORD, which call you by your NAME, am the God of Israel.”
The verb “am” is not in the original text. And by the translators even suggesting the verb “am” misleads Chrisitians to wrongly think the Yahweh’s NAME is the God of Israel.
Also, the Tetragrammaton “YHWH” should have never been “translated” as LORD.
For you see, that is also misleading Christians to wrongly believe that Jesus is one and the self same being as the LORD simply because Jesus is called Lord in the New Testament.
What some Christians have never been taught is that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was MADE to become a Lord under and subject to His God AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36.
Now, for those of you who are new to my website and you may have never been taught that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was given a NEW NAME after the cross and resurrection, this is one of the many PROPHECIES of the new NAME of the Messiah being the Elohim of Israel.
Please read the two-part study called What is the NEW NAME of Jesus, part 1.
The name Israel means he shall rule as God.
H3478
יִשְׂרָאֵל
yiśrâ'êl
yis-raw-ale'
From H8280 and H410; he will rule as God; Jisrael, a symbolical name of Jacob; also (typically) of his posterity: - Israel.
Total KJV occurrences: 2505.
So then, primarily, the name Israel is a prophecy of the Messiah being made to become the God over Israel, the twelve tribes of Jacob.
According to Genesis 32:28, God gave Jacob the NEW NAME “Israel”, which again means he, speaking of Jacob, shall rule as God.
Thus, the name Jacob is a FIGURE of Jesus, as in, the Messiah would be born in the lineage of Jacob.
Also, the name Jacob means to supplant or the supplanter. And the English word supplant means to REPLACE.
So then, understanding that God gave the one who will REPLACE the NEW NAME which means he shall rule as God, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out WHO Jesus will REPLACE.
I am not saying this sarcastically, but rather, Christians ask me,
“WHERE in the Bible does it say that Jesus will replace Satan as the God over the whole earth.
I THOUGHT that Jesus is already Almighty God Himself.”
No, that is what church TRADITION has taught nearly all Christians.
But the Bible ITSELF teaches us in John 17:13-26, that the SAME GLORY that the God of Jesus GAVE to him, Jesus has promise to give to us who overcome even as he overcame the world.
Now, if Jesus overcame the world through already having the FULLNESS of the Godhead dwelling in him, then how could we possibly overcome the world only having a “FINGER” of God dwelling in us.
The truth is, the FULLNESS of Deity did NOT dwell in Jesus until AFTER the cross.
That is when it PLEASED the Father that all fullness SHOULD dwell in Jesus, according to Colossians 2:9.
For you see, Jesus said in Luke 11:20, that he cast out devils with the FINGER of God.
Please read the study called N-8. Jesus Was GIVEN the FULLNESS of the Godhead!
And, according to John 17:13-26, the SAME GLORY that Almighty God GAVE to the Son of MAN, Jesus, after the cross and resurrection, Jesus has promised to give to us who overcome the world even as Jesus overcame to world.
In other words, Jesus is the FIRST human to enter into the GLORY of God’s CITY.
Now let us connect the two pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of God’s word together.
In part one of this series of studies to learn the TRUE SOUND Biblical mean for WHY the earth was without form and void in Genesis 1:2, we learned from Psalm 8:1-6 that the very REASON for WHY God created man and the Son of MAN a little LOWER than the Elohim was BECAUSE of Hid ENEMIES.
In other words, God will use His good and faithful servants as His WITNESSES to JUDGE Satan, and the fallen Elohim in order to clear His NAME from being blasphemed by His ENEMIES, according to Psalm 74:10,11.
And in part two of this series of studies, we learned that the earth or the world is called the GREAT city, which actually means the INSOLENT city.
In other words, Lucifer corrupted the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth and he is still dong the same thing in this PRESENT evil AGE.
And God is in the process of FOUNDING the earth, which literally means to set the earth ARIGHT, or to FIX what Satan has broken down by his pride and disrespect for God’s throne of authority.
To say this another way, God SET Lucifer as an Elohim over the earth during the FORMER AGE of the earth.
And all was perfect for billions of years until around 15,000 or more years ago when Lucifer corrupted himself and sin was found in him.
That sin of greed led Lucifer to become a murder by waging a WAR to conquer, or TRY to overthrow the other side of heaven.
We will cover Deuteronomy 4:32 in part three of this series of studies to learn the TRUE meaning of Genesis 1:1,2.
To continue reading part three, please click on the title Deuteronomy 4:32 The WAR in Heaven!
Also, I implore you to read all if the studies un the subject menu heading called ** The PREVIOUS AGE of the Earth! **
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
More studies are coming in this SHORTER Biblical Unitarian view of who Jesus is according to the WHOLE word of God.
If you have a PARTICULAR verse of Scripture that you would like to know the sound Biblical Unitarian meaning, then please email me at MarkatAMatterOfTruth@Gmail.com and let me know.
