The Eastern Gate Facing The Mount Of Olives In The Old Walled City Of Jerusalem

According to Scripture, the Messiah will enter the old city of Jerusalem through this gate. During the rule of Suleiman, the Muslims sealed the gate trying to prevent his entry. This prophecy is given to us in the Book of Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 43:1-4 (KJV)

“Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.”
