Zechariah 14-Part 2

LET IT GLOW

Zechariah is looking into the future with concern of the return of the Lord Jesus to the earth to set up His kingdom. (verses 1-8) With a third of the Jews surviving the Tribulation, the Lord will set up His Kingdom on earth. He will establish Himself in the Temple and proclaim Himself to be God.  

Some unusual things will happen:

• Jesus' feet will land on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. (verse 4)
• Then there is a great earthquake and the Mt. of Olives splits in half, north and south. Physical changes take place. (verse 5) It is all on a great mountain; Jerusalem on one and Mt. of Olives one another. It sounds like all the other hilly land, except where the Temple is, will be leveled. 
• All the saints will come with Thee. (verse 5)The armies of heaven will follow Jesus to earth and the saints. Other scriptures can go along with this-Rev. 19;Romans 11:25-26.
• Out of darkness will come light. Jesus is the Light of the world. 9verses 6-7)
• With the lands around Jerusalem flattened, the city could become a seaport of the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. Jesus is the Living Water which flows from the throne and does not end, spiritually speaking. Either literally or spiritually taken, verse 8 will establish Jerusalem as the Word of God going out from it.
