The F.O.G
[10] They passed the first and second guard posts without detection, then came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened by itself—no lock could keep out God's delivering power. They walked through it and down one street, then suddenly the angel disappeared.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.
