What Are Portals in the Bible? 
Portals are a metaphor for a doorway to heaven. Jacob marked one of these portals with a stone and placed oil on it. He then referred to this door as the gate of heaven. In the Bible, portals are often referred to as heavenly gates. They have many symbolic uses and can be seen in the story of Joseph.
Jacob’s house
A dream of Jacob’s reveals that God has created a portal between earth and heaven. When God reveals the vision, it is clear that Jacob has an important task to accomplish. His dream also reveals that the servants of the heavenly king are passing through the portal. Consequently, Jacob is appointed the earthly viceroy of this heavenly king.
Jacob found God’s presence through this portal. A spiritual portal is an area between the physical and spiritual realms where God appears in Spirit form. These portals are also known as the gate of heaven.
River Jordan
The Jordan River is mentioned in several passages in the Bible, and several of the stories of Israel’s history take place in or around the Jordan River. These stories portray the Jordan as a strategic location during the Israelites’ war with the Midianites. In one account, Gideon led the Israelites in battle near the Jordan River, and King Saul was killed in battle nearby. Other passages depict Israelites crossing the river to engage the Midianites.
Historically, the Jordan River was surrounded by a thicket of jungle-like vegetation, making the climate in the region tropical and humid. Today, the climate in the region is more akin to that of Southwest Asia or Southeast Asia, and the Jordan Valley is no different.
Divine monarch’s activity
Historically, monarchs have ruled over their people through their lineage, but new ideas of human rights have diminished their authority. Philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Locke, who formulated the Declaration of Independence of the United States, espoused the idea of natural rights, and these ideas eventually gained prominence. These new ideas have gradually eroded monarchs’ traditional supremacy, which was based on their lineage as descendants of notables.
Abraham’s house
In Genesis 12:1-26, we read about a man named Abram, who obeyed God and was sent to a place where God had promised him a land. Upon reaching that place, God appeared to him. This is a significant event in the Bible, since Abram was the first person to see God. God had been preparing Abraham to meet Him. In fact, it was God’s plan to show Himself to Abram in a particular time and place.
Abram’s journey to Canaan is blessed by God, and he and Sarai are given many descendants. Abram’s descendants will live in the land for four hundred years and then be driven out by God’s judgment of their oppressors. After this, Abram and his descendants will return to Canaan. Sarai gives Abram a maidservant named Hagar, but Hagar despises Abram and runs away. She later returns to her family after bearing a son named Ishmael.
Lazarus’ tomb
The Church of Saint Lazarus is located on the site of the tomb of Lazarus. It was built between 1952 and 1955 on the site of several older churches. Its portals are carved with a symbol of hope and life, and its interior is decorated with mosaics and paintings.
The tomb’s interior is filled with a variety of scenes that depict the risen Lazarus. His sisters and the other people present were in astonishment at his sudden appearance. Lazarus carries a clear look in his eye. He pats the earth affectionately, and he gazes up at the sky and the trees and neighbours.
