In Israel..(8th Dec.Day 6/10)
The Mount of Olives
It is where Jesus wept over Jersusalem and where He ascended to heaven after His resurrection (Acts 1:9-12). Jews and many Christians including me believe that when Jesus comes again, He will descend on the Mount of Olives and enter Jerusalem through the Eastern gate (Zech 14:1-4, Ezekiel 44:1-3)
As you can observe from the picture, the Eastern gates are sealed up waiting for the Lord's return.
