Gate of Heaven

Genesis 28:10-17 records a vision that Jacob had while he was in frantic flight from his brother, Esau: He saw a stairway reaching from Earth to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending it. Above it stood God himself, who promised to bless Jacob, and to never leave him.  Jacob’s reaction upon waking from this dream was to exclaim, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it. . . . How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
