This is part and parcel of Jesus teaching about matters that require 'Seeing Eyes'. There are two gates which are the entrances to the rest of your life and eternal destiny. There are also personages that are urging you to choose one of the paths. It behooves us to know the prophet's life. What does he gain or lose with your choice? Know the nature of the path, its obstacles, challenges, and ultimate reward or loss at it's end, and lastly, the character of the prophet - The Path, its characteristics, and the Prophet points to the end result.
