The Golden Gate is the only eastern gate of the Temple Mount. It has been walled up since medieval times, in fulfillment of prophecy. In Jewish tradition this is the gate through which the Messiah will enter Jerusalem,and it is suggested that Suleiman the Magnificent sealed off the Golden Gate to prevent the Messiah's entrance.
