4. Golden Gate, Jerusalem, Palestine

Golden Gate, Jerusalem, Palestine

Description: Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The Golden Gate is in the East wall of the Haram or temple area. Ezekial, the prophet, says that it was shut in his day and must bot be opened for any man, "for the Lord, the God of Israel hath entered in by it , therefore it shall be shut." Ezekial 44:1,2. Traditionally, this is the Beautiful Gate of Acts 3:2, but that gate was evidently much nearer to the Temple. But actually dates from the fifth or perhaps the seventh, Christian century. It was restored in 1892; it is still architecturally interesting from the inside, where a staircase ascends to the roof."
