gate in Genesis 28
GAYT
This thing shows up in Genesis 28:17: “He was afraid, and said, “How dreadful is this place! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 28:17
“He was afraid, and said, “How dreadful is this place! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.””
What kids can learn
When you hear gate in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
