JERUSALEM: The Messiah's closed 'GOLDEN GATE' 🏛️ & ancient Muslim ☪️ Cemetery

SUBSCRIBE ► http://shorturl.at/etK26 - Old City of Jerusalem, the Golden Gate. Let's visit the Old City of Jerusalem and the Golden Gate of the Old City. We are staying outside the defensive walls looking at Lions Gate (where Via Dolorosa begins). To our left, we are seeing an ancient Muslim Cemetery, in a mild state of neglect. Let's walk through the cemetery and now we are going to the Golden Gate which is permanently blocked, we are going to see views of the gate from outside the walls as well from inside Temple Mount, what an adventure!
The Golden Gate, as it is called in Christian literature, is the only eastern gate of the Temple Mount and one of only two that used to offer access into the city from that side. It has been walled up since medieval times. The date of its construction is disputed and no archaeological work is allowed at the gatehouse, but opinions are shared between a late Byzantine and an early Umayyad date. Closed by the Muslims in 810, reopened in 1102 by the Crusaders, it was walled up by Saladin after regaining Jerusalem in 1187. Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent rebuilt it together with the city walls, but walled it up in 1541, and it stayed that way. The Hebrew name of the Golden Gate is Sha'ar HaRachamim (שער הרחמים), Gate of Mercy. Similar to Christians, Muslims generally believe this was the gate through which Jesus as Messiah, entered Jerusalem.
