God set up a foreshadowing of this portal back at the first Passover. The Children of Abraham killed a lamb and marked the door way to their house with the lamb's blood. Blood was placed to the right and left sides of the doorway, and then some was wiped upon the top of the door frame. When the Angel of Death saw the blood dripping from the doorway, he passed over that house and didn't kill the first born.
If people were outside of that house they were in danger of death, but if they entered that doorway of blood, they would be safe inside. The next time they left through that blood soaked doorway, it was to freedom. Moses took all the people on to a promised land which they had never seen before. It was a land of milk and honey.
The true portal, which the Passover foreshadowed, was built around 30 AD. It too was soaked with the blood of the sacrificial lamb. Everyone who entered this portal would be safe from eternal death. This portal also was the doorway to a new realm, a new kingdom flowing with the milk and honey of God's blessings.
That portal is in the shape of a cross. It doesn't look like a doorway to walk through, but in reality it is. This is a doorway that you must walk through spiritually. You must pass through the blood in order to walk into the safety of God and on to the Promised Land of Heaven.
