Wakf want to open the Sha'ar Harachamim (Golden Gate)

The internet newspaper NRG Ma'ariv posted November 27th about the planning of the Wakf to open the Sha'ar Harachamim (Golden Gate).

It is very interesting since the Jewish sources write about the opening of the Sha'ar Harachamim

(Golden Gate) since it is the gate through which Mashiach will enter upon coming to Jerusalem.

Yecheskel 44:1

מֶר אֵלַי יְהוָה, הַשַּׁעַר הַזֶּה סָגוּר יִהְיֶה לֹא יִפָּתֵחַ וְאִישׁ לֹא-יָבֹא בוֹ--כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, בָּא בוֹ; וְהָיָה, סָגוּר. ג אֶת-הַנָּשִׂיא, נָשִׂיא הוּא יֵשֶׁב-בּוֹ לאכול- (לֶאֱכָל-) לֶחֶם--לִפְנֵי יְהוָה; ג אֶת-הַנָּשִׂיא, נָשִׂיא הוּא יֵשֶׁב-בּוֹ לאכול- (לֶאֱכָל-) לֶחֶם--לִפְנֵי יְהוָה; מִדֶּרֶךְ אוּלָם הַשַּׁעַר יָבוֹא, וּמִדַּרְכּוֹ יֵצֵא

1 Then he brought me back the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. 2 And the LORD said unto me: 'This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it, for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut. 3 As for the prince, being a prince, he shall sit therein to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.'

Rashi explains that the meaning for "בא בו" is meant the future.

The Metzodos David says about the words "את הנשיא" - Who is meant? This is the king Moshiach since he is considered the head, leader, it is not honorful that he will eat from the korbanos with the whole nation, that is why he will enter through the Sha'ar Harachamim in order to eat there.  

Moschiach is surely involved with this. The gate of the East side will be closed until the coming of Moshiach.

Now the Islamitic Wakf is ruling the Temple mount, but when the time will come for Moshiach the gate will be opened.

In the sefer of Rabbi Petachya of Regensburg he describes: "And Jerusalem has a gate, it is named Sha'ar Harachamim, the Gate of Pity, this gate is closed with stones and clay. The Jews have a tradition that throught this Gate the Shechina went into Golus and in the future the Shechina will return through this gate. 

It is the gate facing the Mount of Olives.
