Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
(NOTE: The Temple area had 4 courts: The Court of the Priests. The Court of Israel. The Court of the Women. The Court of the Gentiles.
Only Levitical priests had access to the Court of Priests where the altar was (2 Chron 23:6).
Only ceremonially clean Jewish men could enter the Court of Israel. It was their God given sacrificial system that allowed them access into this sanctuary.
The Court of the Women contained poor boxes. This was where the poor widow offered the 2 mites (Lk 21:1–4).
The middle WALL of PARTITION Paul is referring to was a wall of stone balusters. That separated/divided the outer temple Courtyard of the Gentiles (considered impure) from the rest of the temple.
Warnings were posted in Latin & Greek. Any foreign uncircumcised person caught crossing into another courtyard was punishable by death. The outer courtyard was where Jesus rebuked the money changers (Matt 21:13).
This was a picture of the spiritual barrier, which due to sin, denies man’s access into God’s presence. Faith placed in Jesus death & resurrection breaks the spiritual partition baluster & allows us access, thru Christ into God's presents.
