“And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul tomorrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.” Act 23:20-21

A gate is an exit or entry point. There are physical gates and spiritual gates.

It's at the gates where fierce battles happen; once you conquer the gate, you have conquered everything within the gate! Genesis 24:60 "And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them". The family of Rebekah knew the secret that the key to successful living is by conquering the gates of your enemies. It's the gates which determine the destinies of people.
