The term "doorkeeper" is often associated with the Levites, who were assigned various duties in the service of the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>The role of the doorkeeper is first mentioned in the context of the Tabernacle, where the Levites were appointed to assist the priests and manage the logistics of worship. In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-19.htm">1 Chronicles 9:19</a>, we read about the Korahites, a family of Levites, who were "keepers of the thresholds of the tent" and had the responsibility of guarding the entrances. This role was crucial in maintaining the sanctity and order of the worship space.<br><br>The significance of the doorkeeper is further highlighted in <a href="/psalms/84-10.htm">Psalm 84:10</a>, where the psalmist declares, "For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." This verse underscores the honor and privilege associated with serving in the house of the Lord, even in a seemingly humble capacity.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>While the specific term "doorkeeper" is not frequently used in the New Testament, the concept of guarding and serving in the house of God continues. In the parable of the watchful servants in <a href="/mark/13-34.htm">Mark 13:34</a>, Jesus speaks of a man going on a journey who leaves his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and commands the doorkeeper to stay alert. This parable emphasizes vigilance and readiness, qualities essential for those entrusted with the care of God's house.<br><br><b>Symbolic and Spiritual Significance</b><br><br>The role of the doorkeeper carries a deeper spiritual symbolism, representing the call to guard one's heart and life against spiritual threats. <a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm">Proverbs 4:23</a> advises, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." In this sense, every believer is called to be a doorkeeper, vigilant in maintaining the purity and sanctity of their spiritual life.<br><br>Furthermore, the doorkeeper's role can be seen as a metaphor for the responsibility of church leaders and members to protect the integrity of the church community. In <a href="/john/10-3.htm">John 10:3</a>, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd, and the gatekeeper opens the gate for Him. This imagery highlights the importance of discernment and faithfulness in welcoming Christ and His teachings into the community.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The role of the doorkeeper, while often overlooked, is a vital aspect of biblical worship and community life. It serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance, service, and dedication in the life of faith. Whether in the literal sense of guarding the physical space of worship or the spiritual sense of guarding one's heart, the doorkeeper's role is a noble and essential calling in the biblical narrative.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/8652.htm"><span class="l">8652. tara -- doorkeeper</span></a><br><b>...</b> 8651, 8652. tara. 8653 . doorkeeper.
