After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven:
and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said,
Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hearafter... (Revelation 4:1)
The animated door in heaven, with narrated Bible verse, fades in and out with
dreamlike ripples. Modeled after Jerusalem's Messiah Gate.
The Messiah Gate
, also known as the
Golden Gate
or Eastern Gate

represents the Shekhinah or Divine Presence
, according to Jewish Traditions.
The Messiah appeared
through the Eastern Gate and will appear again when the Annointed One comes (Ezekial 44:1-3).
