Why Heaven has gates

I think I found out why Heaven has gates.

It is quoted in the Bible....

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size=2 face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">quote:</font><table border="0" width="90%" bgcolor="#333333" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#FF9900"><tr><td width="100%" bgcolor="#000000"><font size=2 face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma"> John 10:7-10 [7] Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. [8] All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. [9] I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. [10] The thief [i.e., the Devil] comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

In short saying... Who ever believes in Jesus and has accepted Christ blaa blaa blaa will pass through the gate. Or thru Jesus. So I think the Gate is a representaion of Jesus the son of God.

Any other thoughts???

Why was he represented twice? I do not know. I am guessing as the church grew and a need for people to "see" or imagine what Heaven was or looked like they drew Heaven in a likeness. For it not to appear like your local Motel 6 I would guess when people asked can just anyone get in.. they replied. No you must go thru the gate... yet in turn ..."what is the gate?" The Gate is Jesus Christ.

Which brings a whole new question I just thought of .. If Jesus is Jesus Christ but Jesus is also the son of Christ our savoir.. ok back to the drawing board.

And no I dont think Jesus wanted to be a big ass gate. I think he much prefered to be the waterfalls on the sides of the gate but those were already taken.
