We have basically what they are called the divisions of gatekeepers, and we think, look, what are the gatekeepers? Well, they're gonna play a very big role later on in 2 Chronicles, where as people are coming to the temple, as people are coming to Jerusalem, they need to have strong men. They say here in our translation, able men, basically, who might be able to be bouncers.

They say here in our translation, able men, basically, who might be able to be bouncers.

So we just got a list in 1 Chronicles chapter 26 of a number of the bouncers who would come to the city of Jerusalem and would come to the temple in the city in Jerusalem. And basically, if there's any ruffians or unwelcomed people or objects trying to get into the temple area, then they would stop them. And so it's very practical. It's very practical. But once again, it's not small.

In fact, they are going to be prominent. These people, these groups of families are going to be very necessary at the end of 2 Chronicles. It's going to happen multiple times when under the high priest Jehoiada and Hezekiah and Josiah, those kings, that they're going to need to have some of these gatekeepers, these strong people who are able to be doorkeepers.

Now, at the same time, we also realize, again, this is not a small thing. In Psalm 84, it talks about, I would rather be the doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. I'd rather even just live as the doorkeeper. That's my only job.

My only job is to be the one who is guarding the door to the temple of the Lord, to the house of God than live anywhere, live anywhere else. And that's something so remarkable that God would give such honor to these strong men, to these people who are able to simply guard the doors.

You know, we have in the history of the church, we have so many saints who that was their call, their kind of primary occupation as monks or as brothers in a monastery. That their job was to basically be the porter and the porter is the person who welcomes people at the front door. And we even have a man from our local area. He lived in Superior, Wisconsin for a while.

So I'm in northern Minnesota, lived in Superior, Wisconsin for a while, then went down to Stillwater, Minnesota. And his name is Blessed Solanus Casey. And at one point, Blessed Solanus Casey became a religious, a monk or a brother. And one of his main jobs was to simply answer the door.
