Christ as Jacob's Ladder

1) Jacob's Ladder
And he dreamed, and behold a 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.
Genesis 28:12
 
2) Clue it's CHRIST
I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open,
and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
John 1:51
 
TOP of LADDER
The Top of the Ladder reaches up to heaven where God is.
The Top of the Ladder represents the DIVINITY of CHRIST - UNITED with GOD 
 
BOTTOM of LADDER
The Bottom of the Ladder reaches down to earth where fallen mankind is.
The Bottom of the Ladder represents the HUMANITY of CHRIST - UNITED with Mankind
 
SUMMARY of Jacob's Ladder in ONE WORD:
EMMANUEL
 

Behold, a virgin shall be with child,
and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which being interpreted is,
God with us.
Matthew 1:23
