The Gizrah may be the literal architectural source of the ‘outer darkness’ imagery

Evidence

Could this gizrah possibly be the place that is called “the outer darkness” or the “darkness outside,” spoken of in the three Matthew parables? Could this be where the Lord in His Love, but out of His justice, casts the unfaithful servants who were not prepared for the kingdom? Could this be an expression of His “tough Love” in providing an area for remedial training? Could this be the separate place into which the fruitless and defiled believers are put, while the rest of the body of Christ enjoys fellowship with the Lord in some other area of the temple? — Chuck Missler, The Kingdom, Power and Glory, 763
