In the context of the Bible, the term "entries" can refer to various forms of access or points of entrance, both literal and metaphorical. The concept of entry is significant in biblical narratives, symbolizing access to sacred spaces, divine presence, or spiritual truths.

1. Physical Entries:

· Temple and Tabernacle Entrances: The design and construction of the Tabernacle and later the Temple included specific instructions for their entrances. These entries were not merely architectural features but held spiritual significance, representing the way to approach God. In Exodus 26:36-37, the entrance to the Tabernacle is described: "You are to make a curtain for the entrance to the tent, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with embroidered cherubim. Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold hooks, and cast five bronze bases for them."

· City Gates: In ancient Israel, city gates were crucial for defense and commerce, but they also served as places of judgment and public assembly. The gates of Jerusalem, for example, are mentioned frequently in the Bible. Nehemiah 3 details the repair of these gates, emphasizing their importance in the restoration of the city.

2. Spiritual and Symbolic Entries:

· Entering the Kingdom of God: Jesus often spoke of entry into the Kingdom of God, emphasizing the spiritual requirements for such an entry. In Matthew 7:13-14, He states, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

· Jesus as the Door: In John 10:9, Jesus declares, "I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture." Here, Jesus presents Himself as the entry point to salvation and spiritual nourishment, highlighting His role as the mediator between God and humanity.

3. Entries in Prophetic and Eschatological Contexts:

· The Entry of the King: The triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, often referred to as the Triumphal Entry, is a significant event in the Gospels. It fulfills the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 and is recounted in Matthew 21:1-11. This entry symbolizes Jesus' messianic kingship and the inauguration of His kingdom.

· Heavenly Entry: The Book of Revelation describes the entry of the faithful into the New Jerusalem. Revelation 21:27 states, "But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life." This entry signifies the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise of eternal life and communion with Him.

4. Moral and Ethical Entries:

· Entering into Rest: The concept of entering God's rest is explored in Hebrews 4:1-11, where believers are encouraged to strive to enter that rest through faith and obedience. This entry is both a present spiritual reality and a future hope for eternal rest with God.

· Guarding the Heart's Entry: Proverbs 4:23 advises, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." This metaphorical entry point emphasizes the importance of protecting one's inner life from harmful influences, aligning with the biblical call to holiness and purity.

In summary, the theme of entries in the Bible encompasses a wide range of meanings, from physical access points to profound spiritual truths. Each entry, whether literal or symbolic, invites believers to consider their approach to God, their spiritual journey, and their ultimate destination in the divine narrative.(n.) Plural of Entry.
