Zechariah is quoted multiple times in the NT, amazingly these few verses in Zechariah 14 are also quoted repeatedly primarily in Revelation.
Zechariah 14:5, Matthew 25:31, 1 Thessalonians 3:13, 2 Thessalonians 1:7, Jude 14
Zechariah 14:7, Revelation 21:25, Revelation 22:5
Zechariah 14:8, Revelation 22:1
Zechariah 14:9, Revelation 11:15, Revelation 19:6
Zechariah 14:11, Revelation 22:3
Zec 14:4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.
It is awesome to think that Zechariah 14:4 tells us that Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives the same place where HE was arrested, the same place where HE ascended to heaven from (Acts 1:1
1-12). If you consider the view of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives it is easy to understand what is intended when in Zechariah 12:10 says that, "they will look on Me whom they have pierced." Jesus will one day return to this same Mount and Zechariah 14:5 tells us that we, HIS holy ones, will return with HIM.
It is good to live in the light of our future! We need not listen to our adversary...I can't remember who said it first, but it has been well said when our adversary reminds us of our past we should remind him of his future...and I would add that we should constantly be reminding ourselves and others of our future with Christ.
John 10:28-30
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish —ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are one.”
Take a good look, whether you visit before you die or not you will see this view again if you are a child of God, twice born, adopted, heirs, and joint heirs with Christ.
Living in the light of our future!
