The comforting vision of the heavenly ladder shown to the fugitive Jacob, assured him of the omnipresent providence of God, and of his communication of all needed good to his people in the desert of this world, Heb 1:14 . It was also an assurance that there was a way open from earth to heaven, as well as from heaven to earth; and we may see in it an illustration of the nature of Christ, in which heaven and earth meet; and of his work, which brings man home to God.<\/p>\n

(, sullatm’, a staircase, perh. from , to raise up; Sept. ; the Arab. sullamnun has the same signification) occurs only once, in the account of Jacob’s vision in his dream at Bethel (Gen 28:12), where the ” ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it,” represented the Gospel dispensation, the blessings of which the patriarch’s posterity were to inherit; the Redeemer himself being this mystic channel of intercourse between heaven and earth (John i, 51).

(For illustration, see opposite page.) Similar scenes are frequently depicted on the Assyrian monuments (Layard, Nineveh, ii, 284). SEE FORTIFICATION.<\/p>\n

Egyp. i. 243; Layard, Nineveh, ii. 372). Although this use of them is probably implied in Pro 21:22, scaling-ladders are first expressly mentioned in the time of the Maccabees (1Ma 5:30).
