And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
The vision shows a figure with an appearance like brass standing in the gateway with a measuring reed in his hand. He brings the prophet into the inner court toward the east and measures that gate by the same measures used before. No part escapes notice, for every least chamber, doorway, arch, pillar, and gate is recorded by the reed.
That exact measurement is the very law of God. It is God's spiritual measure of humanity, placed upon the least of human acts and dealings.
Faithfulness in the least, down to a mere wheat measure, is what makes the whole righteous stature and structure. Honest, faithful dealing, loving God supremely and neighbor as self, builds character piece by piece. Through the power and grace brought through Jesus Christ such faithfulness forms a character after the divine model, elevated, ennobled, and sanctified. That character is fitted to live and rule among the greatest, and prepared for the glory of God to come in and be revealed.
