The rectangular doorframe indicates a structured and orderly design, reflecting God's precision and order in worship. This architectural detail aligns with the specific instructions given for the tabernacle in Exodus, emphasizing the continuity of God's dwelling places. The rectangular shape may symbolize stability and strength, qualities associated with God's presence. In ancient Near Eastern architecture, doorframes often signified transition from the common to the sacred, underscoring the sanctity of the space within.<p><b>and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar</b><br>The sanctuary here refers to the Holy of Holies, the most sacred part of the temple where God's presence was believed to dwell. The similarity in doorframe design between the outer sanctuary and the Holy of Holies suggests a thematic unity in the temple's construction, highlighting the seamless connection between different areas of worship. This design continuity may also point to the unchanging nature of God. The doorframe's similarity could symbolize the accessibility of God's presence through Jesus Christ, who is described as the "door" in <a href="/john/10-9.htm">John 10:9</a>, providing a way for believers to enter into a relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel receives visions from God, including the detailed vision of a new temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a></b><br>The vision of the temple in <a href="/bsb/ezekiel/40.htm">Ezekiel 40-48</a> represents a future idealized temple, symbolizing God's presence and order.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sanctuary.htm">The Sanctuary</a></b><br>The innermost part of the temple, representing the holy presence of God, where the doorposts are described as square.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_order_and_symmetry.htm">Divine Order and Symmetry</a></b><br>The square doorposts symbolize God's order and perfection.
