What does Zechariah 14 describe?
Zechariah 14 describes the final battle of Armageddon, when all nations gather against Jerusalem; the city is taken, then the Lord Jehovah goes forth at His second coming, fights those nations, and His feet stand on the Mount of Olives, the same mount He ascended from.
Les teaches that Zechariah 14 is in reference to the kingdom that will follow Christ's second coming. He identifies the gathering of all nations against Jerusalem as Armageddon, the last great battle. Jerusalem is taken, the houses are rifled, the women are ravished, and half the city goes forth. Then the Lord Jehovah goes forth—the return of Christ, the second coming—and fights against those nations as when He fought in the day of battle. Verse 4 shows His feet standing on the Mount of Olives before Jerusalem, the same Lord who ascended in Acts chapter 1 and went back to the Father. Les stresses this is not another Mount of Olives in heaven but right here on the earth, and he continues into verse 8.
