Zech 14:4 is the only verse in the OT that mentions the Mount of Olives.
Vs 4 states in that day His feet will stand on the Mt of Olives.
Vs 1 states a day of the Lord is about to come
I suppose my question is, is Jesus suppose to literally return and set foot on the Mount of Olives in the future or did some of it occur in the 1st century and some in the future.
Zechariah 14:4
1 A day of the Lord is about to come when your possessions will be divided as plunder in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to wage war; the city will be taken, its houses plundered, and the women raped.
Then half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be taken away.
3 Then the Lord will go to battle and fight against those nations, just as he fought battles in ancient days
4 And in that day His feet 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.
5 And ye flee through my mountain valley, for the mountains will extend to Azal.
Indeed, ye flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah.
Then Yahweh my Elohim comes all of holy ones with you..
6 On that day there will be no light –
the sources of light in the heavens will congeal.
7 It will happen in one day (a day known to the Lord);
not in the day or the night, but in the evening there will be light.
8 Moreover, on that day living waters will flow out from Jerusalem,
half of them to the eastern sea
and half of them to the western sea;
it will happen both in summer and in winter.
=======================================
There are 2 events that are historically significant concerning the Mount of Olives
The one in the NT showing Jesus on the Mount of Olives.
Matthew 24:3
Yet of Him sitting upon the Mount of the Olives, the Disciples came toward to Him according to own saying "be telling! to us.....
Mark 13:3
and of sitting of Him into the Mount of the Olives facing the Temple,
Peter and James and John and Andrew inquired of Him privately...
This map shows the location of the 1st century Mount of Olives in relation to the Temple/Jerusalem to the east.
And just for info, this map shows the position of the Roman Legions under about 40 yrs later.
Titus and his 10th Legion is camped on the Mount of Olives.
