According to biblical prophecy and Jewish/Christian tradition, Jesus will return and enter Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate (also known as the Golden Gate or Gate of Mercy), which faces the Mount of Olives. This gate has been sealed for centuries, fulfilling prophecies in Ezekiel 44:1–3, and is believed to be the specific entrance the Messiah will use to usher in His kingdom.
✨ The Eastern Gate, also called the Golden Gate, has been sealed for nearly 500 years—fulfilling a prophecy from Ezekiel. But many believe it will open when Yeshua (Jesus) returns, crossing the Kidron Valley and entering Jerusalem.

' Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey” (Acts 1:9-12). Jesus will return to the same location from which He previously left the earth.
In February 2019, the interior of the gate was reopened for Muslim worshippers from the Temple Mount. However, the gate itself still remains sealed.

The Jubilee of 2033
The year 2033 will be of exceptional significance for the Christian community and the entire world. This extraordinary year will mark the 2000th anniversary of the Redemption, an event that highlights the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the foundation of Christian faith.
The Gospel of Mark identifies three separate occasions when Jesus foretold his passion, death and resurrection to his disciples. Each prediction was limited to the twelve. His future was part of the Messianic secret. They were told to tell no one.
Yeshua descended the Mount of Olives in the east and entered Jerusalem through what many believe is the east gate (Luke 19:36–37). He did this on the day known by Christians as Palm Sunday, the same day that the Passover lambs were being selected (and would be sacrificed four days later).
Rather than being named for the area's association with the Gold Rush, it's actually named for the water that runs beneath it—The Golden Gate Strait. It's just one of the many historical facts about the Golden Gate Bridge that not too many people realize.

Al-Amoud Gate or Damascus Gate, also called Nablus Gate, and it is one of the most important and beautiful gates of the city of Jerusalem in Palestine. It is important because it is the main entrance to Al- Aqsa Mosque, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Al-Buraq Wall.
So there will be no rapture on the Feast of Trumpets this year 2025. It won't happen since Sept 23-24 can't be after the tribulation, which hasn't even started yet. Even Jonathan Cahn is saying it could happen, it might happen. No, absolutely not.
“In 2033, global conflict will be widespread and chaotic, but not necessarily more violent. Rather than the post-Ottoman state system in the Middle East with hard borders and suffocating central control, there will be a series of weak states and sectarian and ethnic regions in tense relationships with each other.
Pope Leo went to the threshold of the Holy Door and pulled each side shut. The door will be sealed until the next Holy Year, which is likely to be 2033, the 2000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The Apostle John, in his first epistle, said that we are living in the last days (1 John 2:18). The last days are the period from Christ's ascension to His glorious return. So, we are definitely in the last days. People want to know how close we are to the end of the last days, but I cannot say.
In summary, Christ will return when God's full agenda for this age is complete. Of that agenda our part is world evangelization, people group by people group and our preparation as Christ's Bride to be his companion throughout eternal ages!
