I don't need to do all of those things, I'm already proving Premil left and right already. If you are too blind to see it, that's not my fault. It might be those Amil glasses that you maybe need to remove first.
BABerean2, who is also Amil, argues Zechariah 14 a bit differently than you do. He admits some of it involves the end of the age and the 2nd coming. That logically places Zechariah 14:16-19 during/after the 2nd coming, then. He then argues there are no unsaved survivors after the 2nd coming though, therefore all of the ones in Zechariah 14:16-19 meet their demise at the 2nd coming. What about the part in Zechariah 14:16 where these in this verse are supposed to go up from year to year, or else? How can they be expected to do that if they were all destroyed at the 2nd coming? Where is the logic in that? How can they be expected to do that if there are no years remaining after the 2nd coming in order to do that? Where is the logic in that?
Zechariah 14:2-3 does not match the events having to do with what happened in 70 AD. If it can't be meaning that, how can that not mean it must involve events in the close of this present age instead?
Zechariah 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled(shacac), and the women ravished(shakab); and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zechariah 14:2 should be making one think of Isaiah 13:15-16, for one.
Isaiah 13:15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled(shacac), and their wives ravished(shakab).
Does any of the following look like it's meaning anything having to do with 70 AD?
Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh , cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh , and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
There is no logic on the side of Premil.
You bundle Zechariah 14:2 in with clear climactic second coming passages that forbid Premil. You need to first start by correlating Zechariah 14 with Revelation 20, before you try dumping other unrelated all-consummating passages together with it. Of course, the reality is, you, or no Premil, can. It doesn't remotely fit. It will never correlate because Premil is a false doctrine.
The second thing you need to do is address the multiple OT and NT Scripture that show the second coming to be the end. It might give your efforts more credibility if you would actually start by addressing what BABerean and myself are submitting to you instead of constantly ducking around them. This shows your argument is lacking and pushes others towards Amil.
Thread after thread sit as testimony to your avoidance. Argument after argument remains avoided. Scripture after Scripture stands in defiance of your beliefs.
