The "inner court" refers to the more sacred area of the temple complex, which is closer to the Holy of Holies. The east side is significant in biblical symbolism, often representing the direction of God's glory and presence, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/43-2.htm">Ezekiel 43:2</a> where the glory of God comes from the east. The east gate also holds eschatological significance, as it is traditionally associated with the coming of the Messiah.<p><b>and he measured the gateway</b><br>The act of measuring is a recurring theme in Ezekiel's vision, symbolizing God's order, precision, and the establishment of His divine standards. Measuring the gateway emphasizes the importance of access and entry into the sacred space, reflecting God's control over who may enter His presence. This can be seen as a foreshadowing of Christ, who is described as the "gate" or "door" in <a href="/john/10-9.htm">John 10:9</a>, through whom believers gain access to God.<p><b>it had the same measurements as the others</b><br>This phrase underscores the uniformity and consistency in God's design for the temple. The repeated measurements highlight the perfection and symmetry of God's plan, reflecting His unchanging nature. This consistency can be seen as a metaphor for the equal access to God provided through Christ, as stated in <a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a>, where there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for all are one in Christ Jesus.
