If you traverse the gate in the opposite direction (reverse the two letters), there is a reversal of meaning. ''Confident '' is ''ag'' אג, and the reversal is ''ga'' גא meaning ''proud''. In order to understand them, they must be filtered through the lens of the cross.  Consider ''garden'' and ''morning''. They do not appear to be any kind of opposites. Let's try metaphoric thinking. Consider 'the garden' to be the Garden of Eden.  1. Who pursued whom there גנ? :a. The serpent pursued Eve. :b. God pursued Adam. :c. Eve pursued Adam.  2. Who is the Son of Man symbol there?:a. Adam was made in the image of God, and Jesus is the express image of God.  This eliminates 1a. 3. What happened in 'the morning'?:a. The resurrection. 4. We now can see opposites between the fall, and the resurrection.
