In the Old Testament, it is mentioned inthe story of King David walking up the Mt. of Olives as he fled from his son Absalom. KingSolomon built shrines to the pagan gods of his many wives on the southern end of themount. The prophet Ezekiel saw the glory of the Lord depart Solomon’s temple over the Mt.of Olives and later witnessed a future returning of that glory from the east over the mount inorder to enter a new temple. The prophet Zechariah prophesied a day when the Lord’s feetwould stand on the Mt. of Olives and the mountain would be split in two. In the NewTestament, Jesus rode down the Mt. of Olives into the city of Jerusalem during what is knownas the “triumphal entry”. Jesus also wept over the people of Jerusalem from the Mt. of Olivesfor their refusal to recognize the coming of the messiah. After the “Last Supper” Passovermeal, Jesus and His disciples went to Gethsemane (which in Hebrew literally means “oilpress”) where Jesus grieved over His impending death and was arrested.
