Spiritual gates are portals and entry and exit ways into cities, nations, people groups and denominations, those areas of influence such as education, government, business, media, entertainment, etc. Gates can be individuals, places such as cities, a point of entry, a point of importance, a point of impact, and/or a point or place of contention. Spiritual battles rage at the gate. The gates of old were a place of assembly (Proverbs 1:21). They were also a place where the law was read and of proclamation in Nehemiah 8:1-3 and 2 Chronicles 32:6. Gates were a place where the priests and prophets delivered their discourses and prophesies (Isaiah 29:21). Criminals were punished outside of the gates. Being positions and places of great importance, gates were carefully guarded and closed at night (Deuteronomy 3:4, Joshua 2:5-7).
