1. When Jacob saw that vision in Bethel, of the Ladder reaching from Earth to Heaven,1 and of the Angels of God ascending and descending upon it, Surely (saith Jacob) the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not; and he was afraid, and said, how dreadful is this place? this is none other but the House of God, and this is the Gate of Heaven: He calls it God's House, where God and his holy Angels, who are of his Household are especially present; and he calls it the Gate of Heaven, Heaven's Guild-Hall, Heaven's Court, namely, because of the Angels; for the Gate, Guild-Hall, or Court was wont to be the judgment-Hall, and the place where Kings and Senators used to sit, attended by their Guard and Ministers. The Chaldee addeth, This is no common or private place, but a place wherein God taketh pleasure, and over against this place is the Gate of Heaven.
