HELP with why we can not sftp or ssh to our server

We are having an issue when we try to ssh or sftp to our linode server. We flushed the IPTABLES and were able to connect in with no problem. Once I restored the iptables we are no longer able to connect. Following is the iptable we have in place. Can someone please tell me if they see any issues?
