“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.”
The imperative to lift up gates and be lifted up, everlasting doors, so the King of glory may come in shifts to the liturgical entry of the divine king. The gates and doors imagery suggests the sanctuary's entrance. The imperative form suggests commanding the sanctuary to open. The King of glory suggests God's majestic royal status. This verse invokes the opening of the sanctuary to receive God.
