What event does Zechariah 14:4 describe?
Zechariah 14:4 describes the Second Coming of Christ, when His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives. It depicts His actual return to Jerusalem, a literal event that does not need to be spiritualized, as it means what it says.
Les explains that Zechariah 14:4 points to the Second Coming, the time when Christ actually returns to Jerusalem. The verse says, "His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, in that plain." Les emphasizes this is not something to spiritualize or try to figure out; it means what it says. This event is connected to the coming kingdom from heaven over which Christ will be King, with Israel as the head of the nations and other nations in a lesser role.
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
