What does Zechariah 14:4 say about where the Messiah's feet will stand?
Zechariah 14:4 declares that in that day His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives, which is east before Jerusalem. This contrasts with Paul's teaching that Christ comes only to the atmosphere and believers meet Him in the air.
Les explains that Zechariah 14:4 is the passage that compares with Paul's teaching. Paul says Christ is only going to come to the atmosphere, and believers meet Him in the air. But Zechariah 14:4, Les notes, is just like the Book of Acts: it says His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is on the east before Jerusalem. So the verse places His feet on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, in that day.
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.
