Since Jerusalem ​ — “the city ” — ​ is symbolic of heavenly Jerusalem,“ the mountain of the olive trees, which is in front of Jerusalem, ” must also be taken symbolically.
Mengingat Yerusalem, atau ” kota tersebut ”, melambangkan Yerusalem surgawi, maka ” gunung pohon - pohon zaitun, yang ada di hadapan Yerusalem ” pastilah melambangkan sesuatu juga.
